"Regarded by many as King's greatest early novel, this new edition of THE STAND features a considerable amount of previously unpublished material which was originally cut from the first edition of the book. THE STAND now comes much closer to the author's original intention. When a man crashes his car into a petrol station just north of Arnette, he brings with him the foul corpses of his wide and daughter. He dies before he reaches the hospital, but it doesn't take long for the appalling plague which killed them to spread across America and the world." - from dust-jacket blurb. .
Sinopsis
A deadly virus, accidentally released from a government lab, wipes out most of the world's population. The survivors are left to rebuild society, but two factions emerge - one led by a kind-hearted woman named Mother Abagail and the other by a demonic figure known as Randall Flagg. The two sides ultimately face off in a battle between good and evil. The book explores themes of humanity, morality, and the consequences of our actions. King's intricate character development and immersive storytelling create a haunting and thought-provoking tale. "The Stand" is a chilling reminder of the fragility of life and the potential for both destruction and redemption in the face of disaster.
