Early printing of this collection of three plays by the Nobel Prize-winning playwright. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Eugene O’Neill on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Signed trade editions of this work are uncommon.

One of the most significant plays of the twentieth century, Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape is still as startlingly fresh and innovative as it was when it was first published nearly a hundred years ago. Primal working man Yank feels at home in the harsh but familiar environment of a ship's engine room, but a chance encounter with a wealthy socialite turns his world upside down and throws everything he knows into question.
