About This Item
Chicago: The Reilly and Lee Co., Publishers, 1934 Hard cover, 8vo., in blue publisher's cloth with titles in silver. The Reilly and Lee Co.,Publishers, Chicago,1934, First Edition. Condition: Very Good Minus, with slight edge wear and corners lightly bumped. Lacking d/j. Interior is moderately age-toned. There is a small price stamp on rear fly, otherwise clean and not written on. "A Story of Crime, Love and Revolt in A.D. 2050." This dystopian, futuristic novel set in 2050's Chicago was the only such work imagined by the author Thomas Temple Hoyne (1875-1946). His several prior works all concerned topics on economics. The fictional world of Hoyne is filled with much conflict between the have and have-nots, who are literally divided between the lakeshore Lower Level of the poor and the castellated Upper Level, hovering, seemingly unassailable, above. A thoughtful, and occasionally erudite, post-Great Depression cautionary tale. Bleiler p. 104.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good Minus.
