Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Don Maitz (illustrator). First Edition 1st Printing. Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Edges Lightly Soiled; Moderate Yellowing Due to Age. SERIES: 4th in series. SYNOPSIS: Severian the fallen Torturer pursues his grand destiny across the lands of Urth, in a journey fraught with peril and wonder, ancient memories and savage death. Fleeing the terrors of the deep water dwellers and the flying slivers of night, he moves inexorably toward the final mystery--the long-foretold coming of the New Sun! Gene Wolfe was born in New York City and raised in Houston, Texas. He spent two and a half years at Texas A&M, then dropped out and was drafted. As a private in the Seventh Division during the Korean War, he was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge. The GI Bill permitted him to attend the University of Houston after the war, where he earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He is currently a senior editor on the staff of Plant Engineering Magazine. Although he has written a "mainstream" novel, a young-adult novel, and many magazine articles, Wolfe is best known as a science-fiction writer, the author of over a hundred science-fiction short stories and of The Fifth Head of Cerberus. In 1973 his The Death of Doctor Island won the Nebula Award (given by the Science Fiction Writers of America) for the best science-fiction novella of the year. His novel Peace won the Chicago Foundation for Literature Award in 1977, and his "The Computer Iterates the Greater Trumps" has been awarded the Rhysling for science-fiction poetry. The first volume of The Book of the New Sun, The Shadow of the Torturer, was nominated for the Nebula Award and has just received the award for Best Fantasy Novel of the Year from the World Fantasy Convention. Volume Two, The Claw of the Conciliator, has been nominated for the Nebula Award. Mr. Wolfe lives with his wife and children in Barrington, Illinois. Although The Citadel of the Autarch completes this narrative of Severian's, Mr. Wolfe is at work on an independent book, The Urth of the New Sun, which further illuminates this future history. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Limited Edition. Flawless brand new Limited Edition SIGNED by the Gene Wolfe on the special limitation page, #149 or just 200 printed. "An American writer of travel guides in need of a new location chooses to travel to a small and obscure Eastern European country. The moment Grafton crosses the border he is in trouble, much more than he could have imagined. His passport is taken by guards, and then he is detained for not having it. He is released into the custody of a family, but is again detained. It becomes evident that there are supernatural agencies at work, but they are not in some ways as threatening as the brute forces of bureaucracy and corruption in that country. Is our hero in fact a spy for the CIA? Or is he an innocent citizen caught in a Kafaesque trap? In The Land Across, Gene Wolfe keeps us guessing until the very end, and after." -- the publishers. Will be bubble-wrapped to protect its corners and shipped in a sturdy box to ensure safe delivery. Signed by Author(s).

Cloth. Condition: Very Good Indeed. Not stated (illustrator). A fascinating satirical work comprised of fictional journal entries, depicting a dystopian America in the year 2951. The first edition of this work.Illustrated with monochrome frontispiece and throughout with half-page etchings.In the original cloth binding.In these fictional journal entries, a Persian explorer named Khan-Li sails across the Atlantic in 2951 and rediscovers America - now a ruined, forgotten land.It is a distinctively satirical piece of work by John Ames Mitchell, who is reflecting his unflattering view of late 19th-century American society. For instance, the Persians find a late coin from 1957 bearing the portrait of an Irish dictator, reflecting Mitchell's disdain for the Irish immigration at the time.SF encyclopaedia describes it thus "a somewhat spoofish satire in which a thirtieth-century Persian expedition visits a depopulated Nh-Yok (ie New York) described in language typical of the lost race tale, though incorporating some characteristics of those ruins and futurity tales that embed an archaeological observers's gaze on the past: that past has been severed from the observer by some great disaster; and the observer misinterprets (and misspells) what he sees. On the cover of both versions of The Last American and elsewhere appear images of the Statue of Liberty gazing upon the waters of a ruined earth: a Merhika that has been devastated by unfettered greed, excessive immigration and catastrophic climate change. This iconic use of the Statue, which was first erected only three years earlier, may be the first of the many; it is supplemented by an interior illustration of the similarly iconic Brooklyn Bridge, also in ruins. The tale was much influenced by Edgar Allan Poe's "Mellonta Tauta" (February 1849 Godey's Lady's Book) and curiously prefigures Gene Wolfe's Seven American Nights." In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, very smart with slight rubbing to the extremities, heaviest to the head and tail of spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Very Good Indeed. book.
