Hardcover. Condition: Very Good-. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. First Edition; Seventh Printing. Hardcover. 8vo. Delacorte Press, New York. 1969. 186 pgs. First Edition/Seventh Printing. DJ has shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities (closed tear present to the front flap of the DJ). Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have shelf-wear present to the extremities (tape residue present to the boards). No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world's great antiwar books. Centering on the infamous World War II firebombing of Dresden, the novel is the result of what Kurt Vonnegut described as a twenty-three-year struggle to write a book about what he had witnessed as an American prisoner of war. It combines historical fiction, science fiction, autobiography, and satire in an account of the life of Billy Pilgrim, a barber's son turned draftee turned optometrist turned alien abductee. As Vonnegut had, Billy experiences the destruction of Dresden as a POW. Unlike Vonnegut, he experiences time travel, or coming "unstuck in time. " Fifty years after its initial publication at the height of the Vietnam War, Vonnegut's portrayal of political disillusionment, PTSD, and postwar anxiety feels as relevant, darkly humorous, and profoundly affecting as ever, an enduring beacon through our own era's uncertainties. ; 1.03 x 8.04 x 5.34 Inches; 224 pages.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). This is the rare and highly collectible Book Club Edition of this monumental novel. The book and dust wrapper are in VERY GOOD condition, showing just some wear, as usual. "Book Club Edition" is stated on the dust wrapper, as necessary. Phot of author on back of dust wrapper. The Book Club Edition is quite difficult to find with a dust wrapper. Previous owner name. Kurt Vonnegut's absurdist classic Slaughterhouse-Five introduces us to Billy Pilgrim, a man who becomes 'unstuck in time' after he is abducted by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore. In a plot-scrambling display of virtuosity, we follow Pilgrim simultaneously through all phases of his life, concentrating on his (and Vonnegut's) shattering experience as an American prisoner of war who witnesses the firebombing of Dresden. Slaughterhouse-Five is not only Vonnegut's most powerful book, it is also as important as any written since 1945. Like Catch-22, it fashions the author's experiences in the Second World War into an eloquent and deeply funny plea against butchery in the service of authority. Slaughterhouse-Five boasts the same imagination, humanity, and gleeful appreciation of the absurd found in Vonnegut's other works, but the book's basis in rock-hard, tragic fact gives it unique poignancy -- and humor.
