Eugene O'Neill, 1946
O'NEILL, Eugene. (188-1953). The Iceman Cometh. New York: Random House, 1946.
First edition, inscribed by the author. O'Neill had received the Nobel Prize for literature in 1936 and he planned, over the next decade, to work on a nine-play series depicting American history through two centuries of one family's struggles. Only two plays of this series survive, but O'Neill also wrote three of his greatest – and most autobiographical – works during this period: The Iceman Cometh, the first of these, restored O'Neill to Broadway. The other two are Long Day's Journey into Night and A Moon for the Misbegotten. The present is inscribed in O'Neill's shaky hand in the year of publication: "To Marvin Roth, with all good wishes / Eugene O'Neill Oct / 46."
Octavo. Original cloth; printed dust jacket (minor toning and a few small nicks to spine panel, a couple short closed tears); custom box.
