hardcover. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First Edition. Raymond Clevie Carver Jr. (May 25, 1938 â" August 2, 1988) was an American short story writer and poet. In their 1989 nomination of Carver for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the jury concluded, "The revival in recent years of the short story is attributable in great measure to Carver's mastery of the form." During his years of working at miscellaneous jobs, rearing children, and trying to write, Carver started abusing alcohol, & by his own admission, he gave up writing and took to full-time drinking. Carver began his "second life" and stopped drinking in 1977, with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous. While he continued to regularly smoke cannabis and later experimented with cocaine Carver believed he would have died of alcoholism at the age of 40 had he not overcome his drinking. This, his final (incomplete) collection of seven stories, titled "Elephant and Other Stories" was composed in the five years before his death & published in Britain in 1988. There was no equivalent American edition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 124 pages. Dust Jacket un-clipped. Gift inscription in ink on front endpaper. Gilt titles spine. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams. Category: Fiction; Short Stories; American Literature; American Short Stories; Literature & Literary. ISBN: 0002719126. ISBN/EAN: 9780002719124. Inventory No: 5113.

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First UK Edition. Second printing of the first edition - published in the UK in the year after the author's death in 1989. The first printing came out the year before. There was no equivalent American edition. ***Near fine in light-grey cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still beautifully bright. The boards are clean and unmarked. Head and tail of spine slightly creased. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Corners sharp. Page block edges nice and clean. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions - clean with no marks or creases. No tears. Printed on nice quality thick paper. ***In a near fine colour-printed dustwrapper which is unpriced (for export). The dustwrapper is complete with no tears or chips, with just some minimal rubbing and creasing to the edges. Tail of spine of dustwrapper slightly creased. No fading to the sun-sensitive green colour on the spine of the dustwrapper - the red titles just slightly faded. Dustwrapper clean. ***124 pages. 222mm x 142mm. ***'Raymond Carver's stories have invented a region of America, and an unmistakable voice to tell its tales. Cool and precise, their language pared to the bone, they slice through the routine that crusts ordinary life as small-town men and women confront the moment when their luck runs out. He is "one of the true contemporary masters" (New York Review of Books) whose stories "can already be counted among the masterpieces of American fiction" (New York Times). "Elephant and Other Stories" extends his achievement. Written in the simplest of styles, mirroring the rhythms of everyday life, the stories in Raymond Carver's first new collection for three years possess an awesome, mesmerizing power'. (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ****A second printing of the first UK edition, in very nice collectable condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Nº de ref. del artículo: 7940
