A sturdy, well-rounded, full paneled portrait of one man's life, Sam Braden, generous, honest, hardworking, with good natural instincts set a bit awry by the stigma of poverty in childhood. His chief aim has been a successful business career plus redeeming himself in the eyes of Eileen Wyatt, daughter of socially prominent home town people. Eileen, on the rebound when the cousin she loves marries her best friend, agrees to marry Sam, but the marriage is never a success and they separate. Sam finds happiness with Emilie; they have a son, Hath, and Sam retires, a millionaire. Emilie dies and father and son are at odds, but with the war, and Hath's enlistment, they are reconciled. Hath is killed, and Sam does his share in a defense plant. A rather stolid, and solid, piece of writing, lacking the light touch of Mr. Littlejohn." - Kirkus Reviews.

"A nation preoccupied with a major modern war might not be expected to produce much significant literature. Yet during the Second World War a number of excellent novels were published in the United States. Among these was Martin Flavin's Journey in the Dark, a brilliant social history of a self-made millionaire who renounces his comfortable existence to work in a defense factory. It is also a skilful allegory of a nation coming of age during the war. "No review can succeed in transmitting the art, the integrity, and the dramatic rightness of thes book," wrote the New York Herald Tribune critic. Flavin's incisive portrait of America from the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century as seen through the eyes of an ordinary Midwestern businessman earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 1944. The writing was termed "so real that after reading the last page, your own life seems to be the dream, the book the actuality." Artist Charles Hamrick has responded with a vivid realism of his own in the illustrations he was commissioned to prepare for this limited edition. They show careful research and a faithful adhereance to both the spirit and the surroundings of the story. A Franklin Eggshell Wove Paper in white shade carries the text, set in Aster. A fine natural leather was selected for the binding. Martin Flavin was born in San Francisco in 1883 and raised in Chicago. He began writing at the age of twenty-two but quit a year later to go to work as an office boy in a large wallpaper company. In twelve years he had worked himself up to the vice-presidency of the company. Although he did not write during this period he said later that he had been accumulating details of his experiences, which he planned to turn into plays and books. He begain writing plays in 1918 and, although not relinquishing his executive position, had three of his plays produced on Broadway in the next eight years. In 1929 he had three plays on Broadway at once, including a drama called The Criminal Code, which won the New York Theatre Club medal for best play of the year, and Broken Dishes, in which Bette Davis made her stage debut. His first two novels, Mr. Littlejohn (1940) and Corporal Cat (1941), were warmly praised by the critics. Journey in the Dark combines entertainment with serious moral analysis of the American way of life. Once begun, it is a book you may not want to put aside -- and you may not be able to forget." -- The Franklin Library, from the Preliminary Page.
