This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!
Autorenporträt
Edna Ferber was an American novelist, short story writer, and dramatist. Her novels include the Pulitzer Prize-winning So Big (1924), Show Boat (1926; made into the celebrated 1927 musical), Cimarron (1930; adapted into the 1931 film that won the Academy Award for Best Picture), Giant (1952; made into the 1956 film of the same name), and Ice Palace (1958), which was also adapted into a film in 1960. He was born on 15 August 1885 and died on 16 April 1968. She helped adapt her short tale "Old Man Minick," published in 1922, into a play (Minick), which was then turned to film three times: in 1925 as the silent film Welcome Home, in 1932 as The Expert, and in 1939 as No Place to Go. Ferber was born on August 15, 1885, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Jacob Charles Ferber, a Hungarian-born Jewish storekeeper, and his Milwaukee, Wisconsin-born wife, Julia (Neumann) Ferber, of German Jewish origin. The Ferbers had relocated to Kalamazoo from Chicago, Illinois, to operate a dry goods company, and her older sister Fannie was born there three years prior. Ferber's father was not a businessman, and the family moved frequently while he was growing up.
