1942 The Robe, Lloyd Douglas. Hardcover. Measures 8.5" by 5.5". 472 pages. Good condition. Shows a little age and use. Damage to dust cover.
Experience one of the most significant literary successes of the 1940s with this 1942 edition of "The Robe" by Lloyd C. Douglas. This historical novel spent nearly a year at the top of the New York Times bestseller list and remains a cornerstone of mid-century religious fiction. The story follows Marcellus, the Roman centurion in charge of the crucifixion of Jesus, as he wins Christ's robe in a dice game and finds his life irrevocably changed by the garment.
This substantial 472-page volume was published during World War II, a time when its themes of faith and redemption resonated deeply with a global audience. It eventually served as the basis for the landmark 1953 film starring Richard Burton, which was famously the first movie released in CinemaScope. This copy is in good condition and still retains its original dust jacket, which features the striking, classic artwork. While the jacket shows some age-related damage and use, it provides a wonderful period-accurate look for any vintage book collection or historical display.
This item is vintage, over 80 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
