Description: GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAINby James Baldwin Copyright 1981 First Edition LibraryFacsimile of First Edition With Slipcase and Dust JacketNew, MINT CONDITION with faint rub mark on back of slip cover (see pics)! Go Tell It on the Mountain is a 1953 semi-autobiographical novel. It tells the story of John Grimes, an intelligent teenager in 1930s Harlem, and his relationship with his family and his church. The novel also reveals the back stories of John's mother, his biological father, and his violent, fanatically religious stepfather, Gabriel Grimes. The novel focuses on the role of the Pentecostal Church in the lives of African Americans, both as a negative source of repression and moral hypocrisy and a positive source of inspiration and community. I am helping liquidate an estate for a friend. Her husband was an avid collector of books. I have hundreds to list, many rare and hard to find books. Please check back often as I will be listing new ones every day. Feel free to ask if you are looking for anything in particular. I will be listing many Folio Society books as well as the entire collection from the 100 Greatest Books ever written by Easton Press and many First Edition Facsimiles from The First Edition Library.
