Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Dawn — Xenogenesis, Book One by Octavia E. Butler. Warner Books / Aspect Science Fiction, New York, 1997 — Eighteenth Printing, Mass Market Paperback Edition (ISBN 0-446-60378-0) Book Condition Near Fine−. Pictorial wrappers bright and attractive with no significant wear. Spine uncreased. Pages clean and unmarked with light uniform age-toning.

(see photos) Edition / Printing Notes Warner Books / Aspect Science Fiction mass market paperback edition; copyright 1997; 258 pages. Eighteenth printing, 1997. Originally published in hardcover by Warner Books, New York, May 1987; first book of the Xenogenesis trilogy, which also comprises Adulthood Rites (1988) and Imago (1989). The trilogy was later republished as the omnibus Lilith's Brood (2000). Octavia E. Butler (1947–2006) was a multiple recipient of the Hugo and Nebula Awards and the first science fiction writer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship. The 1997 mass market paperback edition features cover art by John Jude Palencar, replacing the original 1987 hardcover's infamously whitewashed jacket. In Dawn, the first of the Xenogenesis series, Lilith Iyapo awakens after the destruction of Earth and centuries of sleep aboard a spacecraft piloted by the Oankali. After learning all they could about Earth and the human race, the Oankali plan to reestablish life on the planet by cross-breeding with humans — they see humans as intelligent beings but cursed with the fatal flaw of hierarchy, which the cross-breeding will resolve. The Xenogenesis series examines the theme of alienation by creating situations in which humans are forced to coexist with other species to survive, extending Butler's recurring exploration of genetically altered, hybrid individuals and communities. One of the landmark works of late twentieth-century science fiction, by an author whose reputation and collectibility have grown enormously since her death in 2006 and whose work has found vast new readerships through university curricula, book clubs, and the Afrofuturism movement. A near-fine copy of a title in extraordinary demand.…

Shopbeschreibung

My late wife and I spent a lot of time accumulating books, especially during COVID. With her gone, the books are a reminder of her. Hence, it's time for me to Turn the Page. Update: Please note I have recently moved to New Mexico (September 2026) where our chihuahua, Pedro, will no longer have to slog through snow and ice - the state where my beloved wife and his mommy lived before we met. Thank you for all your orders since opening this storefront!
