About This Item
Indianapolis: Bobbs Merrill, 1934. hardcover. Book good: age wear to boards and spine, corners bumped and scuffed, slight lean. remains of DJ flaps tipped into pastedowns but then peeled off leaving residue. child scribble on half title page in pencil. a few pencil marks in margins but text clean. binding intact./no DJ. 8vo 315pp. from Preface: "My novel, Pidgin Cargo, now published under its original title, River Supreme, was written, as was Oil for the Lamps of China, wiht a series of four novels in mind. Each of these I hoped would make some contribution to the understanding of that interesting but baffling phase of our American life--our contact with the Fart East. River Supreme, the first in this series, portrays perhaps the least understood of our activities in the Orient. It is the tale of the impact of our industrial civilization upon a country so thickly populated that a machine can only be envisioned as a monster devouring man's food." #01391.
