Sobre este artículo
New York: The Viking Press, 1978. First American Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First American edition, first printing. Signed by Iris Murdoch and inscribed to a former owner on the title page. Review copy with publisher's black and white author photograph laid in, chipped at the bottom edge. Near Fine with light uneven sunning to rear cover, in a Near Fine price-clipped dust jacket with fading to spine and wear to spine ends, with a tape repair made to the blank verso at the crown. Murdoch's 19th novel, and winner of the 1978 Booker Prize. Signed copies (meaning those physically signed by Murdoch, and not via a laid in signature) are scarce.
Sinopsis
Iris Murdoch was an Irish-born British author and philosopher who won the Man Booker prize in 1978 for her famous novel, The Sea, The Sea. The book is written in the form of a journal, kept by Charles Arrowby, an actor turned director who has retired to a secluded abandoned house by the edges of the sea. At the heart of the novel is Arrowby’s obsession with his first love, Mary Hartley Fitch, whom he has not seen since they were adolescents. He becomes possessed by her once again, and attempts to persuade her to elope with him, although she is married and has a son with her husband. Arrowby’s memoir evolves into a compelling record of the odd events and of the unexpected visitors that unsettle his world. The novel explores theories of misplaced, misguided love while revealing a complex story of a remarkable exploration of life.
