Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. VG gray cloth hardcover with modernist illustration and titles on cover and spine. Faux-aged and camouflaged as an ex-library book published in 1949 and heavily annotated with margin notes in the hands two fictitious readers (which forms a separate mystery overlaid on the narrative). This comedic homage to travel literature and pseudo-academic prose will not fail to delight. Contains 24 fictitiously "laid-in" items between the pages: post-cards, news clippings, epistles, loose notes, business cards. From the publisher's promotional statement: "The book: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M. Straka, in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey. The writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world's greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him. The readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how much they're willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and fears."

Cartoné. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Un impresionante canto de amor al libro físicoUn libro, dos lectores, un mundo de misterio, amenaza y deseo. Una joven encuentra accidentalmente un libro dejado fuera de lugar por un extraño: un lector intrigado, embelesado por la historia y su misterioso autor, como lo revelan las notas escritas al margen. Ella responde escribiendo más notas y vuelve a dejar el libro para que lo coja el chico. Así comienza un intercambio en el que los dos se adentrarán en lo desconocido. EL LIBRO: S. El barco de Teseo, la última novela de un prolífico pero enigmático autor llamado V. M. Straka, en el que un hombre sin pasado es secuestrado y llevado a un extraño barco con una tripulación siniestra, comenzando un viaje desconcertante y lleno de peligros. EL ESCRITOR: Straka es un autor revolucionario, cuya identidad real es uno de los mayores misterios del mundo. LOS LECTORES: Eric y Jennifer, tienen que afrontar decisiones cruciales sobre quiénes son, qué quieren llegar a ser y cuánto están dispuestos a confiar en sus pasiones, sus desengaños, sus miedos? y en el otro. S.El barco de Teseo, ideada, concebida y realizada por el cineasta J. J. Abrams y escrito por el galardonado novelista Doug Dorst, es la crónica de dos lectores que se conocen en los márgenes de un libro y se ven implicados en una lucha mortal entre fuerzas que no comprenden. Un viaje al universo de la palabra escrita que sumergirá a sus lectores en una espiral arriesgada, una aventura imposible de abandonar hasta y más allá de la última página. LIBRO.

Gr. 8° geb. Pappeinband. Gebundener Pappeinband in Original-Schuber, 24 x 17 cm, SU mit minimalen Lagerspuren, das Siegel geöffnet, der Band selbst in annähernd neuwertigem Zustand, alle Beilagen sind enthalten, damit absolut vollständig. NEIN, dieses Buch ist nicht vollgekritzelt und auch kein Leihexemplar , wie der Stempel auf dem Vorsatz verkündet, und auch die Zettel, Karten, Belege, Notizen etc., die darin liegen, wurden nicht vergessen. Sie sind Teil des raffinierten Gesamtkunstwerks. Verlagstext: Eine junge Studentin findet in der Bibliothek ein Buch, in das ein anderer Student Hunderte von Randbemerkungen gekritzelt hat, offenbar im Bemühen, der wahren Identität des unter Pseudonym schreibenden Autors V. M. Straka auf die Spur zu kommen. Die junge Frau ist fasziniert und ergänzt die Notizen mit eigenen Mutmaßungen. Zwischen den beiden Studenten Jen und Eric entspinnt sich eine lebhafte Unterhaltung, die allein auf den Seiten des Romans »Das Schiff des Theseus« stattfindet. Gemeinsam machen sie sich auf die Suche nach dem mysteriösen Autor V. M. Straka. Ein unbekannter Übersetzer hat den Roman herausgegeben und ihn mit teilweise verwirrenden Fußnoten versehen. Doch die beiden finden heraus, dass diese Fußnoten einen geheimen Code ergeben, der ihnen Informationen liefert, die der Straka-Forschung bisher völlig unbekannt waren. Was wie ein Spiel beginnt, wird im Laufe der Zeit bitterer Ernst, denn jemand scheint Interesse daran zu haben, dass die Identität des Autors nicht gelüftet wird. Jen und Eric geraten in gefährliche Verstrickungen, die sie fast das Leben kosten. Ein hochraffiniert komponierter Roman, der zeigt, was ein Buch anrichten kann. In der Literatur und im Leben.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. I opened this extraordinary book to make certain it was a first edition; what I did not realise was it is a truly fascinating and unique book imagined by J.J. Abrams and written by Doug Dorst. It is not only a straightforward work of fiction. It is doubly so! It is made to look as if it was published in 1949, and among other mysteries it is also faked up as a library book - from a fictitious library of course! Thus there are many deceptions going on. One is the annotations within the text; remarks and clarifications, as if handwritten. And then, most unusually, there are many inserts loosely laid in throughout the book. Postcards, letters, bills even a compass. The text paper is faked to look old. There are library stamps and some slight foxing, all of it faked! This book can be read as a novel. It can also be read as an annot=ated work in progress. J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst have an obvious fascination with the written word, and of the history of a world of books. A stunning and very original production.
