Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 475 pages. Published in 2019. The author's landmark memoir on grief, survival, and recovery. One of the greatest books of our time. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Known for its elegant, small paperback editions, Europa, the publisher, issued the book in a rare hardcover format. Presents Philippe Lancone's "Le Lambeau" in a felicitous English translation as "Disturbance: Surviving Charlie Hebdo". Survival as the highest form of human existence. "Paris, January 7, 2015: Two terrorists who claim allegiance to ISIS attack the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo. The event causes untold pain to the victims and their families, prompts a global solidarity movement, and ignites a fierce debate over press freedom and the role of satire today. Philippe Lancon, a journalist, author, and a weekly contributor to Charlie Hebdo, is gravely wounded in the attack - but survives. This intense life experience upends his relationship to the world, to writing, to reading, to love, and to friendship. As he attempts to reconstruct his life on the page, Lancon re-reads Proust, Thomas Mann, Kafka, and others in search of guidance. It is a year before he can return to writing, a year in which he learns to work through his experiences and their aftermath. 'Disturbance' is not an essay on terrorism nor is it a witness account of Charlie Hebdo. The attack and what followed are part of Lancon's narrative, which instead touches upon the universal: It is an honest, intimate account of a man seeking to put his life back together after it has been torn apart. A book about survival, resilience, and reconstruction, about transformation, about one man's shifting relationship to time, to writing and journalism, to truth, and to his own body" (Publisher's blurb). "An undeniable, absolute masterpiece" (Front DJ Blurb by Le Figaro). An absolute "must-have" title for Philippe Lancon collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are in subsequent printing. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Regarded by The New York Times as one of the most valuable books of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 1609455568. no.…
