Hardback. Zustand: Good. *Winner of the Man Booker Prize* A luminous novel about love, loss, and the unpredictable power of memory. In this extraordinary meditation on mortality, grief, death, childhood and memory (USA Today), John Banville introduces us to Max Morden, a middle-aged Irishman who has gone back to the seaside town where he spent his summer holidays as a child to cope with the recent loss of his wife.

Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Reader's Copy of Uncorrected Proof of First American Edition, in paperback. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "Banville's magnificent new novel, which won this year's Man Booker Prize and is being rushed into print by Knopf, presents a man mourning his wife's recent death--and his blighted life. 'The past beats inside me like a second heart,' observes Max Morden early on, and his return to the seaside resort where he lost his innocence gradually yields the objects of his nostalgia. Max's thoughts glide swiftly between the events of his wife's final illness and the formative summer, 50 years past, when the Grace family--father, mother and twins Chloe and Myles--lived in a villa in the seaside town where Max and his quarreling parents rented a dismal 'chalet.' Banville seamlessly juxtaposes Max's youth and age, and each scene is rendered with the intense visual acuity of a photograph ('the mud shone blue as a new bruise'). As in all Banville novels, things are not what they seem. Max's cruelly capricious complicity in the sad history that unfolds, and the facts kept hidden from the reader until the shocking denouement, brilliantly dramatize the unpredictability of life and the incomprehensibility of death. Like the strange high tide that figures into Max's visions and remembrances, this novel sweeps the reader into the inexorable waxing and waning of life."--Publishers Weekly (Nov. 8) "This is a novel in which all Banville's remarkable gifts come together to produce a real work of art, disquieting, disturbing, beautiful, intelligent, and in the end, surprisingly, offering consolation."--Scotsman. Pristine (sharp & unmarked) ARC paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. Light-blue generic wraps indicate a "Publication Date: 28 March 2006" but in fact, once the novel won the Man Booker Prize for 2005, Knopf rushed its edition into print in November 2005. Beautiful Knopf production & typeface, collectible.…
