Sobre este artículo
The Beach by Alex Garland. A first edition later printing of the first Penguin. Signed by the author on the title page and without address.
Signed Garland editions are very scarce by normal standards. And more so given the relatively young age of the story.
The Beach is a 1996 novel by English author Alex Garland. Set in Thailand, it is the story of a young backpacker's search for a legendary, idyllic and isolated beach untouched by tourism, and his time there in its small, international community of backpackers.
The book is in very near fine condition, possibly even better. It is virtually unread and without shelf-wear. Pages clean and bright. And the spine is square and tight.

Sinopsis
Late at night in a seedy hotel, Richard is drawn into a strange conversation with a fellow guest. Through a narrow strip of mosquito netting he hears for the first time of a secret beach, and island Garden of Eden hidden somewhere in the scattered islands of a Thai marine park. The next morning, Richard finds a map pinned to his door, and the man who put it there has slashed his wrists. The challenge is irresistible, and Richard sets off on a perilous journey in search of Shangri-La.
