Sobre este artículo
London: Folio Society, 2019. First Edition, First Impression First Printing. Hardcover. New. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Lee-Merrion, Harriet. A new copy in the publisher's shrink wrap, as received directly from The Folio Society. Bound in blocked textured paper with glow-in-the-dark varnish. Printed on Abbey Wove paper and set in Dante with Neutraface display. 360 pages. Frontispiece and 6 colour illustrations by Harriet Lee-Merrion. Printed endpapers. 9½" x 6¼". Die-cut slipcase lined in blue paper. Printed and bound in Italy. Shortlisted for both the Man Booker and Orange prizes, Margaret Atwood's novel - a prophetic tale of a human race all but wiped out by plague - is threaded with dark humour. Using a carefully selected pastel palette, award-winning illustrator, Harriet Lee-Merrion, has produced a series of quietly unsettling artworks that convey societal collapse with an eerie sense of detachment, while the binding design reflects the scientific foundation of Atwood's narrative. In a foreword specially commissioned for our edition, Atwood returns to the novel she wrote more than 15 years ago, and to the questions it raised - ones that remain equally pertinent today: 'How slippery is the slope? Who's got the will to stop us?' There are no answers, she concludes, but her prophetic tale creeps dangerously closer to reality as the years pass. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. In mint condition as received directly from The Folio Society. Additional photos available on request or these may be viewed on my listing. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed-for, and insured.
