No Binding. Condition: VG. Vonnegut / 1969 / Slaughterhouse-Five or the Children's Crusade (Safe 8, 85823) Octavo. First printing. Original dust jacket (toning, minor stain) over original light blue boards, published by Delacorte Press. Black endpapers. Signed by author July 21, 1999 on half-title page. 186 pp. First edition, first printing signed by author New York: Delacorte Press, 1969 Slaughterhouse-Five is a cornerstone in American literature, emblematic of Kurt Vonnegut's unique blend of satire, science fiction, and historical narrative to probe the absurdity and tragedy of war. Its non-linear storytelling, centered around the protagonist Billy Pilgrim's unstuck journey in time, offers a multifaceted critique of the human condition under the duress of war, particularly echoing Vonnegut's own experiences as a prisoner of war during the Dresden bombings in World War II. The novel's exploration of free will, fatalism, and the search for meaning amidst chaos resonates deeply, making it a critical text for understanding postmodern narrative techniques and the enduring impact of war on society. Through Slaughterhouse-Five, Vonnegut challenges readers to confront the destructiveness of war and the illusion of progress, encapsulating the paradoxes of the 20th century's technological advancements and humanitarian failures.
