First edition, second printing of this Southern Gothic novel. Octavo, original cloth, top stain red, bookplate to the front pastedown from ‘The Private Collection of Secretary Madeleine K. Albright’. Madeleine K. Albright, was the first woman to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. She acted under President Bill Clinton from 1997 to 2001, leading the United States through foreign policy in the Middle East with the endorsement of military action in Iraq. At the 1998 NATO summit, Albright coined the “3 Ds” of NATO, “which is no diminution of NATO, no discrimination and no duplication – because I think that we don’t need any of those three “Ds” to happen.” After her tenure as Secretary of State, she served as chair of the consulting Albright Stonebridge Group and was the Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. For Albright’s contributions to foreign policy and relations that defined a century, President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. In near fine condition with sunning to the spine and extremities.
Reynolds Price (1933–2011) was a distinguished American writer, poet, and professor known for his contributions to Southern literature. His works, including novels, short stories, and essays, often explore themes of family, memory, morality, and the complexities of Southern identity. Price’s debut novel, A Long and Happy Life (1962), won the William Faulkner Award and established him as a major literary voice. His writing, influenced by biblical narratives and classical literature, is characterized by lyrical prose and a deep psychological insight into human relationships. Despite facing physical challenges after being paralyzed due to spinal cancer in 1984, Price continued to produce critically acclaimed works, cementing his legacy as a profound and introspective storyteller.
