Sobre este artículo
New York City, NY: Doubleday, 1994. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket.. New York City, NY: Doubleday, 1994. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 391 pages. The author's second novel. One of Jane Hamilton's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the "Oprah Book Club"-stamped edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Jane Hamilton's "A Map of The World". A stunning exploration of how one careless moment can cause irrevocable and devastating change. "Alice Goodwin is caring for her best friend's children when two-year-old Lizzy Collins wanders to the pond on the Goodwin farm and drowns. The consequences of this tragedy reverberate through a small Wisconsin community, which never accepted Howard and Alice Goodwin. Jane Hamilton has removed all doubts that she belongs among the major writers of our time" (San Francisco Chronicle) . An absolute "must-have" title for Jane Hamilton collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Jane Hamilton. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a late-modern classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award in 1989 for "The Book of Ruth". One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JANE HAMILTON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0385473109.
Sinopsis
Jane Hamilton lives, works, and writes in an orchard farmhouse in Wisconsin.

Seven years after its publication, The Book of Ruth was chosen for the Oprah Book Club, giving it a second life. In 1994 Hamilton published A Map of the World which became an international best seller, and in 1998, The Short History of a Prince , which won the Heartland Prize for Fiction, and was shortlisted for Britain's Orange Prize.

We specialize in modern firsts, photography, the arts, and erotica.
