Plus d'informations
Tales of the South Pacific, published in 1947 by The Macmillan Company, is a collection of interconnected short stories by James A. Michener that won the 1948 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. The book is known for inspiring the classic Broadway musical South Pacific.
Book Details
Tales of the South Pacific was James Michener's first book, based on his experiences as a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy during World War II in the New Hebrides Islands (now Vanuatu). The stories are narrated primarily through the eyes of an unnamed "Commander" and explore themes of wartime life, cultural interactions, and prejudice in the exotic backdrop of the South Pacific.
Publisher: The Macmillan Company, New York.
Publication Date: January 28, 1947.
Physical Description: The first edition has 326 pages.
Content: The book is a collection of 19 related stories (sometimes referred to as a novel) that portray the lives of American military personnel and local inhabitants during the Pacific campaign.
First Edition Identification
A true first edition, first printing of Tales of the South Pacific has specific identifying points that distinguish it from later printings or editions.
Copyright Page: The words "First Printing" must be stated explicitly on the copyright page.
Binding: The book is bound in orange-beige cloth with the title stamped in blue on the spine.
Dust Jacket: The first-state dust jacket has the publisher's $3.00 price printed vertically at the top of the front flap and credits the illustrator (J. OH. Cosgrave II) vertically on the front panel.
Collectible Value
The value of a 1947 first edition varies significantly based on its condition and whether it has the original dust jacket, especially the first-issue jacket.
Unsigned First Editions: Copies of the first edition in good condition without a dust jacket are relatively less valuable. Copies in a very good condition with a very good, first-issue dust jacket can be valued significantly higher.
Signed First Editions: Signed and inscribed first editions, particularly those with a first-state dust jacket, command a premium price and can be valued in the thousands of dollars, depending on the condition and inscription details.
