About the Item
The first UK edition of Cormac McCarthy's great American novel, an epic historical western set in the American Frontier.
The first UK edition, first impression. The work was first published four years prior in the US.
In the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.
Sometimes termed an 'anti-Western', McCarthy's novel is widely regarded as one of the greatest American novels of all time.
David Foster Wallace termed it one of the most underappreciated American novels, and also '[p]robably the most horrifying book of this [20th] century, at least [in] fiction'.
The novel has been compared with the works of Melville and Faulkner.
In the publisher's original cloth binding, and unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, very smart, with bumping to back strip tail. Dust wrapper bright, with light edgewear to back strip head, and further edge wear to back strip tail. Small areas to the front wrap where the clear covering of the dust wrapper is a touch raised and age toned. Internally, firmly bound. Pages lightly age toned to perimeters due to paper type, otherwise clean.
