Hardcover. Etat : Very Good+. Etat de la jaquette : Good dj. First Edition. [good sound copy, light shelfwear to bottom edge, very slight bumping to top corners; jacket edgeworn and moderately soiled, small chip at top front hinge, 2-inch tear and associated creasing at bottom of rear panel, light staining to flaps, etc.] "A novel of the year 2040," in which "a typical American of our time takes advantage of a scientific experiment to sleep for a century," and when he wakes up he discovers, among other things, that "he recognizes with satisfaction the triumph of human intelligence." (I wish I could think that that's the direction we're heading in, but in fact I think Mike Judge's 2006 film IDIOCRACY will prove to be a better prognostication of our future.) Hicks, an influential Marxist literary critic throughout the 1930s, famously broke with the Communist Party in 1939 over the Hitler-Stalin alliance, and declared himself a democratic socialist.

Edition originale
First edition. Publisher's blue and red cloth with silver gilt titles and illustration to the spine and upper board. Blue top stain. Black and white pen illustrations by Richard M. Bennett to the front and rear endpapers and nestled within the text. A better than very good copy, the binding square and tight. The contents, with a previous owner's bookplate to the front free endpaper, are otherwise clean and bright throughout. A utopian novel in which the protagonist wakes in the year 2040 after 100 years of suspended animation to find himself in a docile, socialist society. Granville Hicks was originally a supporter of communism and a member of the communist party, but by 1939 had become extremely critical of communism and instead sought out a more left-wing, socialist political ideology. Known largely for his academic and non-fiction writing, this was his first work of fiction. Richard Bennet, as well as providing illustrations, contributed ideas throughout the creation of the novel. (Bleiler). Provenance: from the library of Martin Stone. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
