"...its vividness and lyrical flow give to this chronicleof the American soila distinction shared by few novels of our time. The story of Ellen Chase is an American idyl that captures the grim and exalted meaning of the pioneer's struggle with the land. It is a book that has earned its own and its author's eminence." - from the blurb on the dust jacket.

"The Modern Library is an American publishing company. Founded in 1917 by Albert Boni and Horace Liveright as an imprint of their publishing company Boni & Liveright, it was purchased in 1925 by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. Random House began in 1927 as a subsidiary of the Modern Library but eventually overtook its parent to become the parent company of what then only became an imprint of Random House." - Wikipedia

Modern Library, while all reprints, has been collected because of the quality of translations chosen, the quality of binding and printing, and the compactess of the books. - My own opinion.
