A propos de cet article

IN A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE MUST DIE YOUNG, ESCAPE BECOMES THE ULTIMATE ACT OF REBELLION. A classic dystopian science-fiction novel presented in the popular 1976 movie tie-in edition issued to coincide with the release of the MGM film adaptation. One of the defining works of late twentieth-century speculative fiction, Logan's Run imagines a future society that maintains social order and resource control through a chilling mandate: no citizen may live beyond the age of twenty-one. Part adventure, part social critique, the novel follows Logan 5, an elite enforcer whose duty is to hunt down "Runners"-those who attempt to escape their scheduled death. When Logan himself becomes a target of the system he once served, he embarks on a desperate journey that forces him to confront the values and assumptions upon which his society is built. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Mass-market paperback. Movie tie-in edition illustrated with color stills from the 1976 film adaptation. Measures approximately 7 inches tall. Complete as issued. CONDITION: The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean. Age-toning to the pages as expected. Moderate shelf handling wear. Covers remain attractive with no significant creasing or damage. Appears unread. CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS +++ Landmark and defining dystopian novel of the 1960s +++ Explores population control and state authority +++ Features the iconic character Logan 5 +++ Influential precursor to later dystopian fiction +++ Basis for the 1976 MGM motion picture +++ Combines action, adventure, and social commentary. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - First published in 1967, Logan's Run emerged during a period of growing public concern regarding population growth, resource scarcity, and the relationship between individual freedom and governmental control. Nolan and Johnson transformed these anxieties into a fast-paced dystopian narrative that questioned the costs of enforced social stability. The novel became one of the most influential works of its era, helping shape later generations of dystopian science fiction. Its themes of surveillance, population management, youth culture, and resistance to authority continue to resonate in contemporary speculative fiction. ABOUT THE AUTHORS - William F. Nolan was a prolific writer, screenwriter, and historian of science fiction whose career spanned more than six decades. George Clayton Johnson was an acclaimed writer known for his work in both science fiction and television, including memorable episodes of The Twilight Zone and Star Trek. Together they created one of the genre's most enduring dystopian visions. FILM ADAPTATION - Logan's Run was adapted into the 1976 MGM motion picture directed by Michael Anderson and starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Richard Jordan, Roscoe Lee Browne, Farrah Fawcett, and Peter Ustinov. The film became a landmark of 1970s science-fiction cinema and introduced the story to a much broader audience. It was later followed by a television series and remains a cult favorite among science-fiction fans. SUBJECTS: William F.
