Too young to fight in the First World War, but destined to lead the first successful expedition to another star system, the (literally) immortal Lazarus Long is the most popular and enduring character created by Robert A. Heinlein, author of numerous New York Times best sellers. He starred in Heinlein's most popular novels, including Methuselah's Children, Time Enough For Love, The Number Of The Beast, To Sail Beyond The Sunset and others. The oldest living member of the human race due to his unique genes, Long has been a pioneer on eight planets, survived wars and lynch mobs, and explored most of the galaxy. His adventures have given him a breadth of experience distilled through the irony of an immortal viewpoint. But there is nothing pompous about Long's reflections on the human condition. As the noted editor and critic David G. Hartwell has observed, "Lazarus" comments are acute, lively and intelligent." And here they are, compiled in one beautifully designed trade paperback, filled with illuminations and illustrations by renowned Science Fiction artist Stephen Hickman, for the delight of the millions of Heinlein fans around the world.

Long appeared in Heinlein's series of 'future history' novels and was the oldest living member of the human race: his adventures are detailed in these 'notebooks' which provide excellent visual illustration throughout. Recommended for Heinlein fans with a special interest in these novels and the Long protagonist. --Midwest Book Review

Paperback: 10" x 7". Condition: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Cover Art: D F Vassallo (illustrator). 2nd Edition. © 1995: 2nd edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Lazarus Long is the unique and fascinating protagonist who appears in Robert A Heinlein's masterful science fiction series of 'future history' novels. Long is the oldest living member of the human race by virtue of a unique set of chromosomes, clonal and other rejuvenation techniques, and a finely tuned sense of rational self-interest. He has pioneered eight planets, survived at least one lynch mob and many wives, fought in fifteen interstellar wars, made and lost numerous fortunes, and fathered a progeny that numbers in the billions. And he just happens to be immortal. From the smallest details of daily life to overarching abstractions on the nature of the human condition, Long's comments are acute, lively and intelligent. His adventures and experiences, his inexhaustible zest for life, and his ironic appreciation of the successes and failures of civilization make the observations contained in the Notebooks highly entertaining reading. Originally appearing as interludes in 'Time Enough For Love', the Notebooks were first published separately in 1978 by G P Putnam's Sons. Pomegranate is pleased to reintroduce Heinlein's witty words of wisdom in this new edition, beautifully illustrated by noted calligrapher D F Vassallo:- (original cost $15.95).
