first edition
New York; (1956)
by Hughes, Langston
New York; (1956): Rinehart and Co. First Edition. Octavo. 405 pp. One of the famous black poets of his time and still today. He has looked into his life and warmly recalled its most dramatic and intimate moments in this personal narrative of travel and adventure in the world of poetry and politics from Harlem to Samarkand, Topeka to Tashkent. A very good copy bound in gray cloth, black and gray over green with just a bit of fading around the upper edge, in unclipped pictorial dust jacket lettered in white with a bit of wear along upper edge of rear panel, and very light wear to spine ends and corners. A very nice copy without names or bookplates.
