Añadir al carritohardcover. No Jacket. First Edition. New York. 1948. Knopf. 1st American Edition. A Few Tape-Repaired Pages Inside, Otherwise Good. No Dustjacket. 377 pages. hardcover. keywords: Mystery America. DESCRIPTION - In The Moth, Hollywood's hoary old sensation-monger James M. Cain tells the story of a nice boy-nice, that is, by compar…ison with other guys he has written about. Mr. Cain's new hero has a sense of beauty and even a sense of guilt. His missteps, including fraud, adultery, a few burglaries and one stickup, are practically forced upon him by the Great Depression. Thus Mr. Cain has it both-ways: his boy can be a college-educated, clean-cut young American and at the same time do the tough things in the tough situations that are the mark of Cain. Hero Jack Dillon-like Author Cain a Baltimore Irishman-tells the story in the first person, a common practice in Cain's novels, which absolves the author from having to write in English. Cain's command of the I'm-telling-you-brother vernacular has been compared with Lardner and Hemingway, but it is neither as inventive as Lardner's nor as selective as Hemingway's. It often sounds like what it often is-something the movies picked up pure and handed back to Americans as if it had been their own. Manhood Regained. Instead of smelling out his mates and attacking them with bites, as Mr. Cain's earlier heroes did, Jack never once smells a girl; he responds to visual appeal. It is, in fact, at the point that he does not respond to it-when he has been riding the rails as a hobo for some months and a Petty girl strips and wiggles for him in a passing compartment -that he realizes he will have to do something (i.e., steal) to regain his manhood. The emotional crisis is at length resolved by an oilman's wife whose hair curls to her shoulders, whose eyes are like something out of the sea, and who presents herself in Jack's guest room to show him her extensive tan. There have usually been hidden wells of sentiment in Mr. Cain's characters. Even in The Postman Always Rings Twice (1934), Frank, though handy enough at murder with a wrench, sometimes thought about God while in swimming. The Moth gets its title from the fluttering blue-green Luna moth that Jack Dillon falls in love with as a little boy and ever after remembers at beautiful moments. One of these moments occurs when, at 22, he first takes the hand of the twelve-year-old girl he loves. She loves him, too, and their hearts are faithful through years of separation brought on by evil gossipers and the threat of arrest for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. All of Mr. Cain's dream girls are screenable without a change of makeup; so is Jack Dillon. A star halfback and a trained engineer, he has 'taffy' blond hair, dimples in his shoulders, and he displays that blend of brass and mechanical ingenuity that is required of a Cain hero, like an Eagle Scout who never heard of the gentler things a Scout is supposed to be. The best things in the book are like the best things in all Cain's books: clear, fast-moving narrative passages in which Jack Dillon tells you step by step how he bluffed, fought and figured his way out of jams. Murder Paid For. In The Moth, James Cain is occasionally content to lead the reader by the hand rather than to belt him over the kidneys. This makes for a longer novel but not necessarily a better one. Cain's writing is too proficient and disciplined to be classed as pulp, too intelligent to be classed as trash, and some of it certainly ranks with the classics of shock fiction. It is nevertheless essentially near-adolescent. And as adolescence goes, The Moth is a more arrested case than The Postman, in which at least honest murder was done and paid for. - TIME MAGAZINE, Posted Monday, Jul. 26, 1948. inventory #1940 A Few Tape-Repaired Pages Inside, Otherwise Good. No Dustjacket.

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. 373 pages. Stated First Edition. Publisher's gray cloth, lettered in green, and yellow topstain; No names or marks. Very Good. Price clipped dust jacket, designed by Arthur Hawkins, Jr., with an illustration of a luna moth over a teal background… to the front panel, is Very Good, now in mylar protection. The Moth tells the story of John Dillon, who matures over the course of the novel from a young boy with a beautiful singing voice into a man who has been hardened by the roadblocks he encountered along the way. The book - a social commentary on the Great Depression - was met with somewhat mixed reviews, prompting Cain to remark "a simple tale, told briefly, is what people really like.". Arthur Hawkins, Jr. (ilustrador).

Jack Dillon has been a golden child since birth. Blessed with b…lond locks, glittering eyes, and a perfect voice, he is the most popular child singer in Baltimore. But when puberty robs him of his voice and the stock market wipes out his family fortune, Jack is forced to rebuild. Over the next fifteen years, Jack will see it all. From Maryland to California and back again, he will become a football star, a soldier, and a tramp. Despite all that life throws at him, he never loses his eye for beauty, or his hunger for a woman he has known since childhood. But to find happiness in the face of the Depression, Jack must learn that no matter how the world has changed him, part of his soul remains as pure as the first note he sang. -- Publisher.
