Descripción

Bellamy, Edward. APPARITIONS OF THINGS TO COME: Tales of Mystery and Imagination. Chicago: Kerr, 1990. First Edition Fine Hardcover, without dustwrapper as issued. Frontispiece, a fantastical woodcut illustration in the Victorian style, and other engraving collages by Hal Remmel. Though there was never a statement of limitations, the majority of this book's print run were trade paperbacks, and only a handful were hardbound by the publisher. This is a wonderful collection of Victorian science fiction short stories by Edward Bellamy, some of the tales collected for the first time in book form from rare old magazines. These tales have remained little-known despite the enormous significance of Bellamy's utopian novel Looking Backward. The editor of this collection, Franklin Rosemont, provides a lengthy introduction, "The Unknown Bellamy." Illustrated with retro wood engraving collages by Hal Remmel. Kerr Publishing is only well known as a socialist publisher and aren't set up to sell a lot of fiction. Specialty booksellers, knowing it's rare, have been cataloging this for $75 to $200. N° de ref. del artículo 1559
