Hardcover. Condizione: Good. During the years of his emergence as a major American novelist, John Dos Passos traveled widely in Europe, the Middle East, Mexico, and the United States, witnessing many of the tumultuous political, social, and cultural events of the early twentieth century and recording his changing response to them. This Library of America volume collects the vibrant and insightful travel books and essays he wrote at the same time he was publishing his fictional masterpieces Three Soldiers, Manhattan Transfer, and U.S.A.Rosinante to the Road Again (1922) is a vivid collection of essays on Spanish life, literature, and art that demonstrates Dos Passoss enduring fascination with a country he would repeatedly visit and write about. Orient Express (1927) records his 1921-1922 journey through the Middle East, and contains provocative and haunting descriptions of the effects of the Greek-Turkish War; the Caucasus in the aftermath of Soviet conquest; Persia during the rise of Reza Khan; the creation of Iraq by the British; and a winter trip by camel caravan across the desert from Baghdad to Damascus. In All Countries (1934) collects pieces on Russia in the late 1920s, Mexico in the aftermath of Zapata, the troubled Spanish Republic, and strikes and protests in the United States, while articles that appeared in Journeys Between Wars (1938) examine France under the Popular Front and the Spanish Civil War.Also included are A Pushcart at the Curb (1922), a cycle of poems inspired by his travels; nine political and literary essays written between 1916 and 1941, including his denunciation of the execution of his friend José Robles by Spanish Communists; and a selection of letters and diary entries from 1916 to 1920 that record his wartime service as an ambulance driver in France and Italy.

Octavo (21.5cm); removed; 8pp. Top textblock margin a bit chipped, stock uniformly toned and rather foxed, else Good and sound. Early reprint of an important popular Hicksite tract attributed to Joseph Parrish, a Pennsylvania physician. The work, which went through at least nine editions between 1828 and 1890, "remained the most popular Hicksite reply to those outside the Society about the Orthodox charges of 'blasphemy and infidelity'" (Patricia D'Antonio, "Founding Friends" (2006), p. 214). The Hicksite rift was the first experienced by the Society of Friends, though here Parrish preached tolerance, stating that as a physician he would never attempt a deathbed conversion of a Catholic or Jew if a priest or rabbi would bring them succor.
