Project Set, First Edition (20 results)

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 294 pages. Published in 2008. The author's second novel. One of Aleksandar Hemon's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. 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. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Aleksandar Hemon's "The Lazarus Project". His remarkable conflation of Past and Present, fact and fiction. As such, the novel is brilliantly interspersed with archival photographs from the Chicago Historical Society and contemporary images by Velibor Bozovic, mirroring the photographs that one of the characters, a war photographer named Rora (pronounced like "war"), always carries with him. "Hemon is as much a writer of the senses as of the intellect. He can be very funny: The novel is full of jokes and linguistic riffs that justify comparisons to Nabokov. Beauty and violence, in Hemon's universe, are far from mutually exclusive. Indeed, he seems determined not to let his readers escape the experience of war as a personal affront and a personal transformation" (David Leavitt). "She would one day die, and so would Rora, and so would I. They were me. We lived the same life: We would vanish into the same death. We were like everybody else, because there was nobody like us" (Aleksandar Hemon). An absolute "must-have" title for Aleksandar Hemon collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and dated (shortly after publication) in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "11/02/08 Aleksandar Hemon". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. It also comes with a copy of the elongated Souvenir Program, "The Chicago Heartland Prize", which was awarded to Hemon for "The Lazarus Project" and to Garry Wills for "What The Gospels Meant" on November 2, 2008. The Program is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the cover by both prize-winning authors. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and post-publication dated copy (with Signed Souvenir Material) of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed set thus. Finalist of the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2002 for "Nowhere Man". Winner of the MacArthur Genius Grant in 2004. Finalist of the National Book Award in 2008 for "The Lazarus Project". One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: V. 1. [untitled] -- v. 2. The pottery -- v. 3. Small finds. The three-volume publication of the results of archaeological excavations at the UNESCO heritage site of El-Zuma in Sudan, investigated by PCMA University of Warsaw and the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums in Khartoum, presents an Early Makurian elite tumuli cemetery from the 5th-6th centuries AD. This period in ancient Nubian history, preceding the rise of the Christian kingdoms, has long been understudied. Informed analyses by an array of specialists on the team cover the archaeological and bioarchaeological evidence from the tombs (Volume 1) as well as the abundant ceramics (Volume 2) and small finds, especially jewellery, weaponry and personal accessories (Volume 3). The outcome is a people-oriented view of an elite community in ancient Nubia at the dawn of a new age in its history. Readership: Researchers and students studying post-Meroitic/Early Makurian themes from ancient Nubia; scholars of funerary traditions from this period in ancient Nubia.
