Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Druida' is a poignant coming-of-age novel set against the sweeping landscapes of the Red River Valley in the American Midwest. The narrative follows the life of Druida, a young woman born into the harsh realities of a rural farming community. As she navigates the complexities of her upbringing, the story captures the profound intersection of personal ambition and the demanding, often unforgiving environment of the prairie.The work is a significant example of early 20th-century regionalist fiction, highlighting the struggles and aspirations of individuals deeply tied to the land. The prose provides a vivid portrayal of the natural beauty of the plains alongside the stark social dynamics of frontier life. Through Druida's eyes, readers experience the tension between the traditional expectations of a pioneer family and an internal drive for intellectual and emotional growth.As a foundational piece of Midwestern literature, 'Druida' offers deep insights into the cultural fabric of the American heartland. It remains a compelling exploration of identity, resilience, and the enduring spirit of those who shaped the landscape of the Great Plains during a transformative era in American history.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

#64 OF A SPECIAL EDITION OF 110 COPIES PRINTED CHRISTMAS, 1922, ON ALEXANDRA JAPAN PAPER BY ALFRED A. KNOPF FOR HIS BOOKSELLER FRIENDS [this copy] FOR VERONICA S. HUTCHINSON (as stated on half-title verso). [6], 286 pages. Hardcover: H 25cm x L 16.5cm. No slipcase; no dust jacket (unknown as to which - or possibly both, it was issued but probably the former). Tan cloth spine with small edge losses to paper title label which unfortunately has practically indiscernible lettering; patterned paper boards worn at edges particularly at corners. Deckle edges. Purple patterned endpapers. Slight toning at page margins with some scattered foxing; interior leaves are otherwise clean. Binding is firm. Presumably this Christmas 1922 "special edition" precedes the Knopf trade edition; as is frequently the case with books printed near the end of the calendar year, the book's copyright is 1923. Presumably the giftee is author Veronica Somerville Hutchinson who wrote/edited approximately ten books (although none under the Knopf imprint) for children of which several were illustrated by Lois Lenski.…
