description: First published in 1934 and long out of print, The Land of Plenty is one of the most graphically exciting novels of the thirties. Its reprinting here will be an important addition to the literature of the period now being reissued because of the overwhelming interest in the decade. A story of a Western factory town, the novel portrays with sharp realism the blue-collar workers€™ struggle for existence and depicts, with sensitivity and compassion, workers and owners alike in their poverty, depravity, good­ness, and evil, and their attempts to realize their hopes for a future. This edition is a reprint of the 1934 Farrar, Rhinehart edition.
