Minor indent on fore-edge. 'Go Tell It On The Mountain, first published in 1953, is Baldwin's first major work, a semi-autobiographical novel that has established itself as an American classic. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves.' 232 pages. 6.4 x 9.55 inches.

Condition: Fine. Signed limited Franklin Library edition of Baldwin's first novel, his semi-autobiographical "extended rite of exorcism" (Harris). In writing this book, Baldwin did more than draw from his own experiences growing up with a religiously domineering father in 1930s Harlem: he wrote and re-wrote the work for ten years as a way to come to terms with the painful relationship with his father. In the novel as in Baldwin's own life, the hero's path to acceptance lies not in obedience and acceptance but in the intellectual liberation achieved through books and education. One of TIME's "Best English-Language Novels from 1923 to 2005," this limited edition includes a special foreword by Baldwin. An American classic. 8'' x 5''. Original full gilt-stamped leather, raised bands. All edges gilt, red silk ribbon marker, watered silk endpapers. Illustrated by Silverman with full-page brown-toned plates. [18], 232 pages.
