Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. Is het mogelijk dat op een verre planeet, of in een parallelle wereld, sciencefictionauteurs uitsluitend romans schrijven? Het is mogelijk. Maar in dat geval weten die planeten en parallelle werelden niet wat ze missen. Denk alleen al aan wat scien…cefiction op deze aarde zou zijn zonder de verhalen van Asimov, Ballard, Bester, Bradbury, Brown, Clarke, Dick, Disch, Leiber, Lovecraft, Matheson, Shaw, Sheckley, Vance, Van Vogt, Wells, Williamson, Wyndham. Maar vooral, natuurlijk, zonder de verhalen van Lafferty.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: Very Good to Fine. PBO (Paperback Original) True First Ed. 252 pages; Goodreads; Fourth Mansions was inspired by Teresa of Ávila's Interior Castle, and contains quotations from the book, which quotations Lafferty uses as chapter headings. The Interior Castle is a metaphor for an individual's soul; its dif…ferent rooms, different states of the soul. In the middle of the Castle the soul is in the purest state, which equals Heaven. Lafferty uses more complex symbols to bring colorfully into life his many-sided tale of an individual's reaching towards Heaven or Truth. Take a trip thru a psychedelic reality, with seven very special people blending to create a higher form of humanity: A laughing man living alone on a mountaintop, guarding the world. The Returnees: men who live again & again, century after century. A dog-ape "Plappergeist," who can only be seen out of the corner of one's eye. A young man named Foley, very much like us, who begins to find out about the above people & things, & how they're reshaping the world! >>Scuffing to backcover; cover creaisng; Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Publisher's original purple cloth with white titles to the spine, in the Neil McCall illustrated dustwrapper and purple cloth slipcase. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and w…ithout previous owners' marks. Complete with the fine original dustwrapper that is without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£35.00 to the lower front flap). Housed in the lightly rubbed, structurally sound slipcase. Issued in a limited edition of 260 copies, this example is numbered 148 and signed by R. A. Lafferty and Gene Wolf on the illustrated limitation page. There was also a trade edition of 750 copies (completing 1010 copies in total). Unique to this limited edition is Gene Wolfe's essay 'Scribbling Giant' and an additional story from Lafferty 'The Story of Little Brir-Rose'. A characteristically intricate, imaginatively far-flung Lafferty novel involving the Twenty One Pillars of Rectitude, the Seven Saints to insure the sanity of the World, the Seven Technicians to insure its correct mechanical working, and Seven Scribbling Giants to write its scenarios and histories. The extended, and wonderfully named, cast of characters listed at the start of the book includes Hilary Ardri, the Computerized Fish Tycoon, Gorgonius Pantera, piano-maker of the German Alps, Drusilla Evenrood, an East Sussex Lady, and Countess Maude Grogley, mother of Laughter-Lynn Casement (to name just a handful).

The other seven dustwrappers, with just a hint of rubbing to the extremities of volumes VI and VII and a tiny nick to the rear flap fold of volume VII, are free from fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped. Issued in an edition of 300 copies, from which this set is numbered 48 across all eight volumes, and signed by the cover artist Jacob McMurray in volumes I-VI (in facsimile in volumes VII and VIII) and authors of the introductions Michael Swanwick, Harlan Ellison, Richard Lupoff, Michael Kurland, Neil Gaiman, Scott Bradfield, and Gary K. Wolfe, respectively, in black and green ink on the colophon. Signed by the editor John Pelan in green ink in volumes I-VI, and in black facsimile on the colophon of the last two volumes. The complete collected short fiction of R. A. Lafferty, as of April 2026, comprises eight volumes of an expected 12 total, and marks the first ever publication of Lafferty's entire corpus of short stories. The project was initiated by editor John Pelan, a science fiction-horror author known for founding the publishing house Axolotl Press, who sadly passed away in 2021 before the series' completion. 'The Man Who Made Models' (volume I) and 'The Man with the Speckled Eyes' (volume IV) were nominated for the Locus Award for 'Best Collection' in 2015 and 2018, respectively. In a writing career spanning more than three decades R. A. Lafferty has been nominated for a World Fantasy Award, four Hugo (winning the 1973 Hugo Award for his short story 'Eurema's Dam') and seven Nebula Awards. In 1990 the author was the recipient of the World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award. 'R. A. Lafferty is unique, in the old, unspoiled sense of the word. A genius as wild and joyful, delightful and unpredictable as his comes along but once in a lifetime. Cherish him. If there were no Lafferty, we would lack the imagination to invent him.' (Michael Swanwick). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. All items are catalogued by humans. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
