Jacket in new Brodart, a little edge wear, minor chipping at corners. A nice copy. "This is the story of Planet 8 of the Canopean Empire, a prosperous and contented l…ittle planet inhabited by handsome, vibrant, intelligent people, as told to us by one of the planet's fifty Representatives. Planet 8 is verdant and peaceful, its well-being secure, its weather consistently nurturing, never harsh. The people live long, fruitful lives, each one assuming a role essential to the continuity of the race. There is no crime, no strife, and no doubt . . . "Until: the time of The Ice begins, the alignments of the planet shift, ice and snow come to cover its surface, and the people are forced to alter their lives in previously unthinkable ways. What keeps them going is the promise made by Canopus that, in time, they will be taken off Planet 8 to Rohanda, the favored planet of the Empire. But when the Canopean ambassador, Johor, finally arrives, the people are hardly surprised that he brings only devastating news. Rohanda is no longer fit to receive them, and they are destined to perish with their planet . . ."; 7¾" - 9¾" Tall.

The handsome, intelligent people of Planet 8 of the Canopean Empire know only an idyllic existence on their bountiful planet, its weather consistently nurturing, never harsh. They live long, purposeful, untroubled lives.…Then one day The Ice begins, and ice and snow cover the planet's surface. Crops and animals die off, and the people must learn to live with this new desolation. Their only hope is that, as they have been promised, they will be taken from Planet 8 to a new world. But when the Canopean ambassador, Johor, finally arrives, he has devastating news: they will die along with their planet. Slowly they come to understand that their salvation may lie in the creation of one Representative who can save what is most essential to them. Minor wear on cover, pages tanning. 192 pages.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A near fine copy, in a near fine dust jacket, of the stated first US edition. The black cloth binding is clean and unworn, with solid gilt lettering to the spine. Everything is tight and square, with unbumped corners. The contents are clean and brigh…t with no ownership inscriptions or other markings of any kind. The unclipped dust jacket ($11.95) is clean and complete, with just the slightest of edgewear and rubbing. It is now protected in a removable mylar cover. From the blurb: "In this volume of the Canopus series, Doris Lessing gives us a microcosm of our emotional - our metaphysical - universe. Hers is a frightening, yet, finally, a consummately hopeful vision, a profound novelist's contribution to the questions that are being asked so frequently and restlessly by scientists in that recently discovered area where the new physics meets traditional mysticism".

The fourth novel in Lessing's "Canopus in Argos: Archives" series, a cycle of speculative fiction exploring civilization, evolution, and interstellar influence across time and space. The five books in the series are: "Shikasta" (1979), "The Marriages Between Zones Three, Four and Five" (1980), "The Sirian Experiments" (1981), "The Making of the Representative for Planet 8" (1982), and "The Sentimental Agents in the Volyen Empire" (1983). Initially divisive for its departure from realism, the series was later recognized for its visionary scope and philosophical depth. Lessing was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2007 and received other major honors including the Somerset Maugham Award, the Prix Médicis étranger, and the David Cohen Prize for Literature.
