Description: "The Octopus" and "The Pit" hardcover vintage books by Frank Norris. "The Octopus" was printed in 1904 by Doubleday, Page & Co in the original red cloth decorated in gilt. This was the first volume in Norris's planned trilogy "The Epic of the Wheat" on human suffering and sacrifice. "The Octopus" is about the struggle between wheat farmers and the railroad interests in California, and "The Pit: The Story of Chicago" follows the same wheat through the manipulation of the commodity markets in Chicago. The third volume, which would have been titled "The Wolf" was going to follow the wheat to its destination, relieving a famine in Europe. However, Norris died in 1902 (after an appendix operation, at age 32), so the third volume was never written. Both copies are in the standard bright red cloth binding.
