Unique among American novels for its epic scope and panoramic social sweep, John Dos Passos' U.S.A. has long been acknowledged as a monument of modern fiction. In the novels that make up the trilogy -- The 42nd Parallel (1930), 1919 (1932), and The Big Money (1936) -- Dos Passos creates a collective portrait of America in the first three decades of the 20th century, shot through with sardonic comedy and social observation. He interweaves the careers of his characters and the events of their time with a narrative verve and technical skill that make U.S.A. among the most compulsively readable of modern classics. In his prologue, Dos Passos writes: "U.S.A. is the slice of a continent. U.S.A. is a group of holding companies, some aggregations of trade unions, a set of laws bound in calf, a radio network, a chain of moving picture theatres, a column of stock quotations rubbed out and written in by a Western Union boy on a blackboard, a public library full of old newspapers and dogeared history books with protests scrawled on the margins in pencil ... But mostly U.S.A. is the speech of the people." The trilogy is filled with American speech: labor radicals and advertising executives, sailors and stenographers, interior decorators and movie stars. This edition also contains newly researched chronologies of Dos Passos' life and of world events cited in U.S.A., notes, and an essay on textual selection.… (altro)

This work is titled U.S.A. by the publisher (Library of America) and contains "The 42nd Parallel", "1919", and "The Big Money". Each of these titles also appear as separate works by the author, John Dos Passos, which should NOT be combined with this omnibus entry.
This is the main work - dos Passos's "1919" (unabridged). Please do not combine this unabridged work with the Library of America omnibus called "U.S.A." or any other omnibus/anthology/combined edition setup as a separate work on LT. Abridged editions are also considered separate works on LT. Combining an unabridged "1919" listed as a separate work from the publisher's omnibus "U.S.A" is acceptable, as long as the work is clearly identified by the owner as the work "1919" (even though bound with, or published with, other works) and not as the combined work or omnibus. So, for example, "1919 (bound w/The 42nd Parallel; The Big Money)", by John Dos Passos, is the same work as "1919" by John Dos Passos, and should be combined with this work. However, "U.S.A" (containing "1919") by John Dos Passos is NOT the same work as "1919" by John Dos Passos, and should NOT be combined with this work.
