Présentation de l'éditeur
(Unsigned Hardcover Novel) First hardcover edition of the authors groundbreaking 1981 novel. I wont be a figment of your dream, Ned said aloud, staring ahead, looking to see if there was an end to this dream that contained him. And he remembered what Ahasuerus had said: . . . You found little happiness in that world which was built on the dreams of the dead. It was a tiny cosmos of old thoughts. But even then you were dreaming of Hell . . . When Ned Wheeler sets out on a journey from the overly pious yet ribald community that is Junctionsituated on the outskirts of Hellhe has a nagging doubt that all is not right with the world. The appearance of a winged and many-eyed bird beast had been seen by the god-fearing townsfolk as a portent of the end of days and their fears and suspicions, directed toward Ned, persuade him to follow the beast into Hell itself. Little can he imagine the consequences of his actions, let alone comprehend the ensuing events . . . events that will cause him to question the very fabric of his existence and the reality of the world around him. Junction is where Ursula Le Guin's The Lathe of Heaven and Tony Boucher's The Quest for Saint Aquin meet . . . and yet it is an entirely new novel . . . I may very well be basing some of my future work on Junction.Philip K. Dick

Hardcover. Nick Stathopoulos (illustrateur). SF novel, first published in 1981 as a paperback original, a ''fix-up'' of two stories (and other material) first published in 1973 and 1977: the first story ''Junction'', was a Nebula award finalist. ''Among his best and most revealing stories of this early period was Junction (stories November 1973, September 1977 Fantastic; fixup 1981), a Nebula-award finalist in its magazine form; its young protagonist must leave the eponymous village, the last place on Earth to remain physically stable, to explore the ''Hell'' of mutability outside. The expansion cogently dramatizes what Gregory Feeley has suggested is Dann's central theme: the rousing of a young man from disaffected solipsism into awareness of the marvels of the no sphere'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF, 4th Edition). Fine copy in pictorial boards, as issued without dustjacket (as new). First hardcover edition (& 1st printing). N° de réf. du vendeur 29626
