Reviews
"A half-century ago, Stribling won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. What Stribling did in his day was somewhat revolutionary; years before Faulkner, Stribling was publishing short stories set in the South that completely challenged the old molasses-and-roses plots of Southern literature. "By the time he died in 1965, Stribling had published over a dozen novels; one was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection, two were Literary Guild selections, and another was the first book by an American selected by the English Book League. "The shock themes of his best three novels--a trilogy of The Forge , The Store , and Unfinished Cathedral --received more attention than they would today. What endures is his sense of the flow of history, the chain of events caused by the old King Cotton and his attendant lords being dethroned by the Civil War. By following representative families through these three works, one can identify with the variety of efforts tried in escaping from defeat and can appreciate the tragic flaws in any human efforts to escape environment. "The raw material Stribling used was close at hand and rubbed many raw nerves in the tense days of the 1920s and 1930s. But the message itself is just as relevant now as then." - Larry McGehee, "A half-century ago, Stribling won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

Synopsis
The first book in T. S. Stribling's award-winning Vaiden Trilogy about life in north Alabama at the onset, during, and after the Civil War, The Forge is the first book in the Vaiden Trilogy by award-winning Alabama author T. S. Stribling. Originally published in 1931, The Forge introduces the Vaiden family, residents of the rural north Alabama of Stribling's own youth. The Vaidens are a family of white yeoman farmers who scratch out a living in the social and financial shadow of the Lacefields, masters of an opulent plantation nearby. The novel opens on Alabama's secession and the onset of the Civil War. It traces the story of Miltiades Vaiden, who enlists in the Confederate army, and explores the ways the Vaidens, Lacefields, and freed slaves attempt to adapt to the collapse of southern society on the home front. After The Forge , Stribling continued the Vaiden saga in 1932 with The Store , which earned him the Pulitzer Prize. He completed the trilogy in 1934 with The Unfinished Cathedral . Together, the three books paint a portrait of the agrarian South of the mid-nineteenth century, its destruction, and the beginnings of a mercantile future., The first book in T. S.

- 5***5 (65)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book arrived quickly and in good condition. It was sealed in plastic and packaged well. The seller took a while to get back to me when I first messaged them, but did ultimately reply. I would buy from this seller again.
- i***m (482)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOverall, my experience was positive. This book was listed as New condition in shrink wrap. The book was most certainly not new - there was a sticker residue on the inside and some pages were stained. The shrink wrap was not placed on it by the publishers. Someone wrapped it in saran wrap later. The book was generally in fine condition and the packaging was sufficient - mailer with cardboard supports. Not sure why listing offers best offer choice if best offer is 1 dollar less than full price.Only a Mother (Modern Scandinavian Literature in Translation) Lo-Johansson, Ivar (#254828471126)
