Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 585 pages. Published in 2020. Two of the author's classic books, presented by Head Zeus, their British publisher, as a collector's matching set. Limited Slipcased Edition of 175 numbered, blind-stamped, and signed copies. Their fi…rst and only appearance as two books in one slipcase, with the same limitation number. Should not be confused with the regular trade editions of both books, British and American. Beautifully produced, the Limited Edition sold out before publication and is now rare. Presents, in their Limited Edition format, Cixin Liu's "Hold Up The Sky" and "Of Ants And Dinosaurs" in definitive English translations by Elizabeth Hanlon, Joel Martinsen, and other translators. Replenishes the insatiable global demand for the author's awe-inspiring literary universe. "Hold Up The Sky": "Written between 1999 and 2017, these stories came into being during decades of major change in China. Experience the limitless and pure joy of Cixin Liu's imagination" (Publisher's blurb). "Of Ants And Dinosaurs": "That earth should harbor not just one but two intelligent species at the same time defies the odds. That these species, so un-alike - and yet so complementary - should forge an alliance that kindled a civilization defies logic" (Publisher's blurb). More than any other genre, science fiction/fantasy is pure allegory: It is about our struggle to survive and the search for purpose and meaning in this life ("place") and in the universe ("time"). Every great fantasy narrative such as Cixin Liu's aspires to be the most visionary and compelling version of humanity's Uber-narrative: Our unending struggle and transcendent quest. An absolute "must-have" title for Cixin Liu collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition Set of "Hold Up The Sky" and "Of Ants And Dinosaurs", indicated/numbered as such on the Front Limitation Page and the slipcase itself. Each book is very prominently and beautifully numbered, blind-stamped, and signed (in Chinese characters) in black pen-marker by the author: "Cixin Liu 77/125". The publisher's magnificent pictorial slipcase pays homage to collector's boxed sets of yore. These titles are contemporary classics. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Should NOT be confused with the regular trade editions of both books, British and American. A rare signed set thus. Cixin Liu is widely regarded as the greatest Chinese writer of our time in the science fiction/fantasy genre. A fine collectible set. ISBN 1789546117. Signed by Author.

Aggiungi al carrello[Science Fiction] FIRST THUS, a partial reprint of 'From the Earth to the Moon.' Octavo (20 x 14cm), pp.[2] viii; 142 [4]. With 24 engraved plates, including a frontispiece. Publisher's brown cloth with gilt titles to spine and upper. Brown-coated endpapers. Inside joints are tight (often cracked), no ink names, contents clean,…binding a little rubbed and handled, some minor bumping; a very good copy indeed. A rare edition, published purely to kill an unauthorised edition of the first half of 'From the Earth to the Moon' titled 'The Baltimore Gun Club' which appeared a little before Scribner's complete edition. Another splendid example of Mr. Verne's imaginary sweep, including a giant space-gun, a bullet-spaceship furnished like a high class railway carriage, and a bunch of stalwart chaps careering round in space dressed in frock coats surrounded by an orbiting cloud of broken bottles, food wrappers and dead dogs. All in a day's work for Mr. Verne, although he may have broken his golden rule here and left out either pirates or giant steam powered elephants. This translation first published in London in 1873.
