About this Item
STOPPARD, Tom. The Coast of Utopia Trilogy (Signed). London: Faber and Faber, 2002 8vo., 3 vols; original paperback wraps in purple, brown and yellow respectively; each illustrated with the image of a shipwreck to the upper cover; photograph of the author smoking a cigarette to the lower; pp. [xiv], 3-114, [ii]; [xiv], 3-106, [x]; [xiv], 3-119, [xiii]; fresh, tight copies, a little sunned to the backstrips; pages very lightly and evenly toned; one small crease to the upper cover of Vol III. First paperback editions, issued simultaneously with the hardbacks. All copies with full number line 1- 10 and signed by the playwright in red ink to the title pages. Comprised of Voyage, Shipwreck and Salvage, Stoppard s Tony Award-winning play focuses on the philosophical debates occurring in pre-Revolution Russia in the mid 1830s. With a total running time of over 9 hours, it originally premiered at the National Theatre over a period of three days, with a cast of over 70 actors. Historical figures featured included Mikhail Bakunin, Ivan Turgenev, Karl Marx and Alexander Pushkin, amongst many others. The play was hugely successful, astounding critics, with Michael Billington of The Guardian writing that it was heroically ambitious and wildly uneven.I wouldn't have missed it for worlds and at its heart it contains a fascinating lesson about the nature of drama." An inspired examination of the struggle between romantic anarchy, utopian idealism, and practical reformation in this chronicle of romantics and revolutionaries caught up in a struggle for political freedom in an age of emperors. .
