Sobre este artículo
NY: Harcourt, Brace & Company; (1955). First Edition . Soft cover. Advance reading copy of the author's first book, very good in original printed wraps. The white spine is a little darkened and has some wrinkling in the paper (the spine is unprinted). There is a separation about 1" long at the top of the front gutter betweeen the front panel and the spine. The foredge of the page block has two very faint stains running horizontally across the block, which appear to be very minor dampstains. The top front corner of the book is bumped, affecting about the first quarter of the book. "Advance Reading Copy" stamped near bottom of front endpaper. Even with the defects noted, a very nice copy, tight and square, of this noted debut novel in a scarce advance state. Housed in a custom made, cloth covered slipcase.
Sinopsis
The Recognitions is a 1955 novel by American William Gaddis. It is widely praised, and also known for its complexity. The novel was poorly received initially, but Gaddis's reputation grew, twenty years later, with the publication of his second novel J R (which won a National Book Award), and The Recognitions received belated fame; it is usually placed at least on a par with the later novel. Time Magazine included The Recognitions in its TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.
