Immagini fornite dal venditore

Descrizione: The Viking Press, New York, 1962. First edition of the author's classic first book. Octavo, original cloth. Signed by Ken Kesey, Milos Forman and Jack Nicholson. Fine in a near fine first-issue dust jacket. Jacket design by Paul Bacon. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Most rare and desirable signed by these three contributors. Published in February 1962, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was a great critical and commercial success. Over the subsequent decades the book's reputation and readership swelled as millions recognized Kesey's psychiatric ward as a not-so-fantastic metaphor for a modern world in which bureaucracy and technology combine to diminish humanity, individuality and diversity. Adapted to the stage in 1963, with Kirk Douglas in the lead, and was the basis for the highly successful 1975 film directed by Milos Forman and starring Jack Nicholson. Considered to be one of the greatest films ever made, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ranks number 33 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years, 100 Movies list. It was the second to win all five major Academy Awards (Best Picture, Actor in Lead Role, Actress in Lead Role, Director, and Screenplay) following It Happened One Night in 1934, an accomplishment not repeated until 1991 by The Silence of the Lambs. It also won numerous Golden Globe and BAFTA Awards. Codice articolo 107650

Descrizione: New York: Viking, 1962., 1962. Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing, first state with the 3 Red Cross woman passages present; these were quickly changed due to a lawsuit. Dust jacket is first state with the Kerouac quote on the front flap and the $4.95 price. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED by the author on the dedication page: "For Dennis: Hey you know this 1st edition (signed) is worth about $900 on the book market. Ken Kesey" Fine in Fine dust jacket. There is a small (about 0.5 inch squared) red stamped advert at a lower corner of the rear paste-down endpaper: Bell's Books Palo Alto. This could probably be lightened or removed by careful erasure, but we consider it a positive for the copy, as Bell's, founded in 1935, was and still is about a 5 minute drive from the Menlo Park VA facility where Kesey worked, took psychoactive drugs in a US government project, and was inspired by staff and patients to write this novel. The jacket is complete with no tears, but has some slight rubbing and a few small thin scrapes near the spine top, 2 thin scrapes in the brown background under the author's name on the spine; there is some light tanning to the interior of the jacket, especially near the folds. The inscription is not dated, but our source acquired the book already signed in 1988, so that provides a terminal date. Inscribed by Author(s). Codice articolo INV5162

Descrizione: Viking Press, New York, 1962. Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. About Fine in a Near Fine first issue jacket, unclipped ($4.95), bumped at the head and foot of the spine with some fading, a few stray scratches on the panels. Green cloth, a thin strip of fading at the rear gutter, with yellow lettering on the spine. Square and firmly bound with a red top stain. First state with "fool Red Cross woman" on page 9. Kesey's debut novel, now considered a classic of American literature, compared favorably to George Orwell and Philip Wylie in the way it "is concerned with man's battle to be himself in a world of increasing constrols, the battle of joy and freedom against a society which fosters guilt and shame." More succinctly, to quote Kerouac as the jacket does, "A great new American novelist.". Codice articolo 4018

Descrizione: Viking Press, New York, 1962. Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. First edition. Rear hinge restored, multiple drink rings and stains on the boards, a few small stains in text, a poor copy with jacket flaps glued into the rear blanks, otherwise lacking the dustwrapper (with a later supplied homemade brown paper jacket). An interesting albeit conditionally grubbing copy, with a bookplate on front pastedown presenting the book to a Los Angeles-area library from Dorothy Parker. Parker returned to Los Angeles in 1961 to reconcile with her estranged husband Alan Campbell (who committed suicide in 1963). Presumably Parker found Kesey's first book serviceable as a drink's coaster. Something of a generational keystone, this novel was the basis for the 1975 film that was the first to win all five major Oscars since *It Happened One Night* in 1934. Codice articolo 391778
