Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

First impression of the true first UK edition, with the full number-string sequence including the no. "1" on the printer's page: 1 3 5 7 9 8 6 4 2. The author's debut book of short stories, and the first book by the author of "All The Light We Cannot See", winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2015 and a finalist for the National Book Award in 2014. ***Near fine in orange cloth-covered boards with white titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. No bumps or creases. Corners sharp. Page block edges clean. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Pages clean. No foxing. No creases or tears. Integral blue satin reading ribbon. ***In a near fine colour-illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £14.99. No creases, chips or tears - just very slight fading to the colour on the spine of the dustwrapper. Dustwrapper bright. ***219 pages including acknowledgments to rear. 224mm x 140mm. ***Short Stories: The Shell Collector; The Hunter's Wife; So Many Chances; For a Long Time This Was Griselda's Story; July Fourth; The Caretaker; A Tangle by the Rapid River; Mkondo. ***'In this assured, exquisite debut, Anthony Doerr takes readers from the African coast to the suburbs of Ohio, from sideshow pageantry to harsh wilderness survival, conjuring nature in both its beautiful abundance and its crushing power. The blind hero of the title story spends his days roaming the beaches of Kenya, his fingers ploughing through sandy granules of grace and intrigue, his German shepherd at his side. And then there are whale-watchers and fishermen, hunters and mystics, living lives uncompleted or undone, caught, memorably, as they turn toward the reader. ***A natural and a scientific storyteller, Doerr explores the human dilemma in all its manifestations: longing, grief, indecision, heartbreak and slow, slow recuperation. Shimmering with elegance and invention, The Shell Collector is an enchanting and imaginative book---' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the first UK edition of the author's first book, in its original dustwrapper, in very nice bright condition. This collection of short stories won the Barnes and Noble Discover Young Writers Award, and is surprisingly hard to find. ***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.…
