Here's the heart of the heart of where those who take American science fiction seriously would want to begin -- the genre's equivalent of Hollywood's classical period, and the books subsequent creators like Thomas Pynchon and Stanley Kubrick used to bend their brains -- as well as a selection of novels as fresh and evocative as any hungry reader could hope to discover., "Here's the heart of the heart of where those who take American science fiction seriously would want to begin -- the genre's equivalent of Hollywood's classical period, and the books subsequent creators like Thomas Pynchon and Stanley Kubrick used to bend their brains -- as well as a selection of novels as fresh and evocative as any hungry reader could hope to discover." -- - Jonathan Lethem, "Here's the heart of the heart of where those who take American science fiction seriously would want to begin -- the genre's equivalent of Hollywood's classical period, and the books subsequent creators like Thomas Pynchon and Stanley Kubrick used to bend their brains -- as well as a selection of novels as fresh and evocative as any hungry reader could hope to discover."

Synopsis
Contains: American Science Fiction: Four Classic Novels 1953--1956 Frederik Pohl & C. M. Kornbluth / The Space Merchants Theodore Sturgeon / More Than Human Leigh Brackett / The Long Tomorrow Richard Matheson / The Shrinking Man 978-1-59853-158-9 American Science Fiction: Five Classic Novels 1956--1958 Robert Heinlein / Double Star Alfred Bester / The Stars My Destination James Blish / A Case of Conscience Algis Budrys / Who? Fritz Leiber / The Big Time 978-159853-159-6 Following its acclaimed three-volume edition of the novels of science fiction master Philip K. Dick, The Library of America now presents a two-volume anthology of nine groundbreaking works from the golden age of the modern science fiction novel. Long unnoticed or dismissed by the literary establishment, these "outsider" novels have gradually been recognized as American classics. Here are genre-defining works by such masters as Robert Heinlein, Richard Matheson, James Blish, and Alfred Bester. The themes range from time travel (Fritz Leiber's The Big Time ) to post-apocalyptic survival (Leigh Brackett's The Long Tomorrow ), from the prospect of a future dominated by multinational advertising agencies (Pohl and Kornbluth's The Space Merchants ) to the very nature of human identity in a technological age (Theodore Sturgeon's More Than Human and Algis Budrys's Who? ). The range of styles is equally diverse, by turns satiric, adventurous, incisive, and hauntingly lyrical. Grappling in fresh ways with a world in rapid transformation, these visionary novels opened new imaginative territory in American writing. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

- i***k (30)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaThe quality of the item was as described ‘like new’. The value and appearance were flawless as described. My only issue was with the shipping. I feel like I paid a lot of extra money for shipping and the seller did not even ship it in protected bubble wrap or anything. Just some paper that was crumpled up on top and below of it. It just seemed cheap and like the seller didn’t really care how the item arrived. But, thankfully it was still perfect.Respuesta de jeffsb730- Votos a los que ha respondido el vendedor jeffsb730.- Votos a los que ha respondido el vendedor jeffsb730.While I appreciate the positive feedback, the information on the shipping here simply isn't true. This was shipped in a protective bubble envelope, and because it's a steelbook that can dent easily, it was also wrapped in additional bubblewrap inside the envelope to ensure that it was extra secure. No paper of any type was put into the envelope at all. Extra care was taken to ensure that this was safe, and i dont know why you would try to claim otherwise here
- m***4 (1448)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaFast ship! Item arrived as advertised. Packaged well. Happy with purchase. Exactly what I was looking for. Great price, Honest seller! Highly recommend A+++++ Thank you 😊
- g***_ (80)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaPrice was good and the condition is as described. The packaging was not what I would expect as there was literally no bubble or paper to stop the figure from moving around and falling apart. However nothing is broken which is good.Respuesta de jeffsb730- Votos a los que ha respondido el vendedor jeffsb730.- Votos a los que ha respondido el vendedor jeffsb730.Glad to hear these help up in shipping, and I apologize for the insufficient packing material inside the cases. I didn't think to put extra packing inside the actual packaging until after these had already gone out, but will be sure to do so with these in the future.
