About This Item
Paris: Editions du Sablier, 1929. Limited Edition, one of 467 numbered copies (this being No. 28). INSCRIBED by the author to American journalist Edgar Mowrer on the limitation page: "A Edgar Mowrer / cordial souvenir / Duhamel / Novembre 29" ("To Edgar Mowrer / fond memories / Duhamel / December 28"). Text and titles in French.
Considered by many to be "the dean of American foreign correspondents," Edgar Mowrer was born in Bloomington in 1892. He began working as a reporter in France in 1914, having been pressed into service alongside his brother, then working for the "Chicago Daily News." Perceiving the growing power of the Nazi Party, Mowrer began reporting on the rise of Adolf Hitler, publishing day-by-day dispatches from Berlin that would win him a Pulitzer Prize in 1933. Viewed as a serious threat to Nazi power, Mowrer became the first American correspondent to be driven from Germany, taking a post in Paris, where he remained until France's defeat by German forces in 1940. An outspoken antifascist, Mowrer returned to the US and gave lectures about the dangers of Nazi Germany and the failures of American foreign policy. He continued to work as a reporter until his death in 1977.
Very Good plus, bound in contemporary quarter-leather with marbled boards, with spine faintly faded, and light foxing on the endpapers.
