Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. Eighth impression of the true first edition, with the number string 10 9 8 on the printer's page. With "Shortlisted for the MAN Booker Prize" on the front panel of the dustwrapper. ***Near fine in maroon cloth-covered boards with metallic blue titles to the spine, matching the colours used on the dustwrapper. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases - just top and tail of spine slightly creased. Edges of boards just slightly rubbed. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges nice and clean without any foxing marks. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions or annotations. Pages bright. No foxing. No creases or tears. ***In a near fine colour-illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £16.99. No creases, chips or tears - just very light creasing to the top of the spine, and a feint light scratch to the middle of the front panel. Dustwrapper clean and bright. The design of the dustwrapper has a nice wraparound design, and is completely unfaded on the spine - uncommon thus (please see scans). ***242mm x 160mm. 529 pages plus a page of Acknowledgements at the back of the book. ***'In a novel of mindbending imagination and scope, David Mitchell erases the boundaries of language, genre and time to offer a captivating meditation on humanity's dangerous will to power, and where it might lead us.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***'David Stephen Mitchell (born 12 Jan 1969) is an English novelist, television writer, and screenwriter. He has written nine novels and has also written articles for several newspapers, most notably for The Guardian. He has translated books about autism from Japanese to English. Mitchell's first novel, "Ghostwritten" (1999), takes place in locations ranging from Okinawa to Mongolia to pre-millennial New York City, as nine narrators tell stories that interlock and intersect. It won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize (for best work of British literature written by an author under 35) and was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award. His two subsequent novels, "number9dream" (2001) and "Cloud Atlas" (2004), were both favourably received and shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. In 2003, he was selected as one of Granta's Best of Young British Novelists. In 2007, Mitchell was listed among Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World. In 2012, his metafictional novel "Cloud Atlas" (again, with multiple narrators), was adapted as a feature film of the same name. ***"Cloud Atlas", published in 2004, is the third novel by British author David Mitchell. The book combines metafiction, historical fiction, contemporary fiction and science fiction, with interconnected nested stories in different writing styles that take the reader from the remote South Pacific in the 19th century to the island of Hawaii in a distant post-apocalyptic future. Its title references a piece of music by Toshi Ichiyanagi. It received awards from both the general literary community and the speculative fiction community, including the British Book Awards Literary Fiction award and the Richard & Judy Book of the Year award, it was also short-listed for the Booker Prize, Nebula Award for Best Novel, and Arthur C. Clarke Award. A film adaptation directed by the Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer, and featuring an ensemble cast, was released in 2012.' (Wiki) ***An eighth impression of the true first edition, in exactly the same format, in its original dustwrapper in near fine condition. Copies of this large hardback book are hard to find now in such nice collectable condition, especially with an unfaded spine to the dustwrapper. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Artikel-Nr. 9292
