Présentation de l'éditeur
A national bestseller, Dictionary of the Khazars was cited by The New York Times Book Review as one of the best books of the year. Written in two versions, male and female (both available in Vintage International), which are identical save for seventeen crucial lines, Dictionary is the imaginary book of knowledge of the Khazars, a people who flourished somewhere beyond Transylvania between the seventh and ninth centuries. Eschewing conventional narrative and plot, this lexicon novel combines the dictionaries of the world's three major religions with entries that leap between past and future, featuring three unruly wise men, a book printed in poison ink, suicide by mirrors, a chimerical princess, a sect of priests who can infiltrate one's dreams, romances between the living and the dead, and much more.

hardcover. Etat : Acceptable. Please see the condition note after this for details, if this is missing please consider Acceptable to mean poor quality that could include major staining, water damage, writing, missing dustjacket, etc etc. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

London: Hamish Hamilton, 1988. First British edition. First printing (with full number line including the 1). Hardbound. Fine in a very good jacket. Publisher's price intact on front jacket flap. Jacket has a few small closed tears and wear at edges. Translated from the Serbo-Croatian by Christina Pribcevic Zoric. 8vo. pp. viii + 339 with black & white illustrations and chapter headings, some color outlines; colored fore-edge and decorated endpapers. Original maroon cloth hardcover in pictorial dust wrapper. A tight, clean cop. Comes with archival-quality dust jacket protector. Shipped in well padded box. A novel in the form of a fictional lexicon that reconstructs the vanished Khazar people's religion and history through three contradictory accounts-Christian, Islamic, and Jewish. (The Khazars themselves were real, a Turkic people whose empire thrived between the 7th and 10th centuries and whose rulers are thought to have converted to Judaism.) Milorad Pavic (1929-2009) was a Serbian writer; this was his first novel, an international breakthrough that remains his most famous work. His later works published in the United States in English translation were Landscape Painted with Tea (Alfred A. Knopf, 1990), The Inner Side of the Wind (Alfred A. Knopf, 1993), Damascene (Northwestern University Press, 1998), and Unique Item (Northwestern University Press, 2004). This novel was published in a male edition and a female edition. This is the Male edition. N° de réf. du vendeur Fiction-Pavic-Male
