Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. First published in 1973 in the US by Putnam & Co, this is the first UK edition, first impression published by NEL of 1974. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed and bruised, jacket still bright and unsunned, some yellowing to page block and page fore edges, price clipped, no inscriptions, slight lean, internally clean and tight, overall a vg copy for its age. 607pp. One of Heinlein's (1907-88) best and longest science fiction books. Episodes from the life of Lazarus Long (birth name: Woodrow Wilson Smith), the oldest living human, now more than two thousand years old. The first half of the book takes the form of several novellas connected by Lazarus's retrospective narrative. In the framing story, Lazarus has decided that life is no longer worth living, but (in what is described as a reverse Arabian Nights scenario) will consent not to end his life as long as his companions will listen to his stories. The work was nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1973 and both the Hugo and Locus Awards in 1974. An extremely scarce book. It is shame that the jacket art is uncredited, it shows the skeleton of a spaceship impaled on a futuristic tower. Photos on request. Nº de ref. del artículo: 005816
