Sobre este artículo
New York: Putnam, 1963. 288pp. Black boards, teal lettering. Top edge has green dye, a hint of creasing at the spine edges, very light toning to the text block, otherwise a fine copy. "1963" on the copyright page without further printings, indicating a true first edition, first printing. Unlcipped pictorial jacket (Irv Doktor) is bright with creasing to the extremities, a 1 1/2' closed tear on the upper right edge of the rear panel (photo of Robert Heinlein) in mylar sleeve. "Robert A. Heinlein's one true fantasy novel, Glory Road is as much fun today as when he wrote it after Stranger in a Strange Land. Heinlein proves himself as adept with sword and sorcery as with rockets and slide rules and the result is exciting, satirical, fast-paced, funny and tremendously readable -- a favorite of all who have read it. Glory Road is a masterpiece of escapist entertainment with a typically Heinleinian sting in its tail." . First American Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Octavo.
Sinopsis
Glory Road is a fantasy novel by Robert A. Heinlein, originally serialized in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (July - September 1963) and published in hardcover later the same year. Heinlein himself reported that the book only took several weeks and was a lot of fun to write; some of his other works, such as Stranger in a Strange Land and The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, required several years and were relatively difficult. Glory Road was nominated for the Hugo Award in 1964.
