Descripción

This is a true UK first edition / first printing, with '1.Title' on the copyright page. A very nice copy of the author's fourth book, a highly-imaginative novel about a confidence-trickster, which was shortlisted for the 1985 Booker Prize. Carey went on to win the prize in 1988 with 'Oscar and Lucinda', and won for a second time in 2001 with 'The True History of the Kelly Gang' - one of only two writers (J.M. Coetzee being the other) who have achieved this. This is a great copy. Not price-clipped. No inscriptions or book-plates. The page edges are lghtly tanned, and there is a faint owner's stamp (although this is hidden by the rear jacket flap). These are minor faults. A highly collectible item by the bestselling Australian author. We protect all our books with a removable plastic cover, and send them with care. N° de ref. del artículo 000440
