Signed. A stunning signed copy of this the second book in Vardis Fisher's 'Vridar Hunter' tetralogy, a series of semi-autobiographical novels set largely in Idaho which established the author as a national writer of significance. This title deals with Hunter's disillusionment during his time studying at college, as it fails to supply the meaning to his life he had hoped for.

Fisher was a prolific author, both of locally based fiction and historical epics, notably his vast twelve-volume The Testament of Man chronicling mankind's development from the Stone Age onwards. He had been brought up in a Mormon household, and had always struggled with religious faith, as evidenced in his historical novel Children of God (1939) about Joseph Smith and the Mormon movement.

First edition, first printing, trade issue, signed by the author on title-page; 8vo; publisher's burgundy cloth blocked in gilt, a sharp copy, original pictorial dust-jacket, a few small abrasions to upper panel, slight damage to one corner, but otherwise fine.
