Description: ANTHONY ADVERSE ••• By Hervey Allen Early Printing 1936 Farrar and Rinehart, Inc., New York, 1936. First published 1933. Anthony Adverse is a novel by American author Hervey Allen. The novel contains three volumes: The Roots of the Tree, The Other Bronze Boy and The Lonely Twin, and each volume contains three "books", making for nine books in total. The story follows the eponymous protagonist, Anthony Adverse, through several adventures around the world. This includes slave trading in Africa, his business dealings as a plantation owner in New Orleans, and his incarceration and eventual death in Mexico. Fanny Butcher of the Chicago Daily Tribune and Peter Monro Jack of The New York Times both gave the novel glowing reviews. Butcher wrote: "It is a thriller de luxe, but it is more than a melodrama of the most intricate happenings. It is the fantastic tale of a fantastic period, and it is the highest expression of the art of the picaresque which our generation has offered." Similarly, Jack wrote: "Anthony Adverse is essentially a story and a very great story, but it gathers up so much wit and wisdom by the way that Mr. Allen is revealed on every page as that rare thing nowadays, a creative humanist. We should not be surprised and we could not be anything but pleased if his Anthony Adverse became the best-loved book of our time." Tight, clean and Unmarked.. Size: 6” x 1¾” x 9½” tall, 1,231 pages.
