hardcover. Zustand: New. First Edition. The "masterpiece" (Michael Herr) of the New York Times bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Road, No Country for Old Men, The Passenger, and Stella Maris"Cormac McCarthy is the worthy disciple both of Melville and Faulkner. I venture that no other living American novelist, not even Pynchon, has given us a book as strong and memorable."-Harold Bloom, from his Introduction"McCarthy is a writer to be read, to be admired, and quite honestly-envied."-Ralph EllisonWidely considered one of the finest novels by a living writer, Blood Meridian is an epic tale of the violence and corruption that attended America's westward expansion, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the "Wild West." Its wounded hero, the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennessean, must confront the extraordinary brutality of the Glanton gang, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians. Seeming to preside over this nightmarish world is the diabolical Judge Holden, one of the most unforgettable characters in American fiction.Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, Blood Meridian represents a genius vision of the historical West, one whose stature has only grown in the years since its publication.

First edition, first printing, of the author's masterpiece, a shockingly violent work widely proclaimed as one of the greatest American novels. This is an advance review copy, with the publisher's introductory blurb loosely inserted. "Blood Meridian comes at the reader like a slap in the face, an affront that asks us to endure a vision of the Old West full of charred human skulls, blood-soaked scalps, a tree hung with the bodies of dead infants. [It] makes it clear that all along Mr. McCarthy has asked us to witness evil not in order to understand it but to affirm its inexplicable reality; his elaborate language invents a world hinged between the real and surreal, jolting us out of complacency" (James). Caryn James, "'Blood Meridian' by Cormac McCarthy", New York Times, 28 Apr. 1985. Octavo. Original red cloth-backed red boards, spine lettered in gilt and ruled in metallic red. With dust jacket. Title page and facing page illustrated with map of New Mexico. Upper corner of front cover bumped; edges of jacket a touch rubbed, a few nicks to top edge, unclipped: a near-fine copy in like jacket.

Hardcover. First edition. A fine, unread copy in a fine dust jacket. One of only 1883 copies sold before the book was remainered. Absolutely uncommon in this condition. In 1981 McCarthy (1933-2023) was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship worth $236,000. This windfall enabled him to travel the American Southwest researching his next book. This one. Packed with violence, truth, and screams from critics on both ends of the scale. When this book is read the massive force bearing down upon you is Cormac McCarthy, armed with the first onslaught of sustained virtuoso prose in the novel, a single all but breathless sentence running a page and a half long that opens with "A legion of horribles, hundreds in number, half naked or clad in costumes attic or biblical or wardrobed out of a fevered dream with the skins of animals and silk finery and pieces of uniform still tracked with the blood of previous owners" and closes with "all the horsemen's faces gaudy and grotesque with daubing's like a company of mounted clowns, death hilarious, all howling in a barbarous tongue and riding down upon them like a horde from a hell more horrible yet than the brimstone land of Christian reckoning, screeching and yammering and clothed in smoke like those vaporous beings in regions right knowing where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools." A fine copy in a fine dust jacket.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: near fine. First Edition. First UK edition, first printing, octavo size, 345 pp., signed by Cormac McCarthy. Cormac McCarthy (born Charles Joseph McCarthy, Jr., in 1933), is acknowledged by many as one of the greatest contemporary American writers. His first novel, "The Orchard Keeper", won a 1966 William Faulkner Foundation Award for notable first novel; "All the Pretty Horses" would win the National Book Award in 1992, and "No Country for Old Men", conceived as a screen play (and later turned into a novel) won four Academy Awards. He would eventually author twelve novels, three short stories, five screenplays and two plays. This the first UK edition of McCarthy's "Great American Novel"; it was McCarthy's fifth novel and although it received only lukewarm praise upon publication, it is now viewed as his magnum opus. The first UK edition scarce signed; as of this writing, we see no copies online. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full red textured paper over boards, white lettering stamped onto the spine, copyright page with full number line, simply signed "Cormac McCarthy" on the sectional title page in black ink; octavo size (8 5/8" by 5 3/8"), pagination: [i-viii] [1-2] 3-337. The unclipped dust jacket with a wrap-around illustration (by George Sharp) of a horseman riding over a landscape with a blood-red sky behind him, black and red lettering, review blurb on the bottom of the front panel, short summary of the book and review blurbs on the front flap, short author bio on the back flap with original price of GBP 11.95 at the bottom. ___CONDITION: Volume near fine, the paper over the boards clean, the white on the spine not worn or flaked, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, and entirely free of prior owner markings; the head of the spine with a slight bump extending for about an inch at the very top of the front board, tail of the spine very gently bumped, corners gently bumped but not rubbed, interior pages lightly toned. The unclipped dust jacket also near fine, clean, not sunned (the reds on the spine as deep as on the panels), with very minor edgewear. ___PROVENANCE: We acquired this book from a collector who purchased it from an ABAA member who confirmed the signature, details available upon request. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Zustand: NEAR FINE. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: NEAR FINE. First Edition. SIGNED and inscribed by Cormac McCarthy on the title page to Gyula Visnyei, aka Juli Veee, the Hungarian-American soccer player. Cormac faltered in the spelling of 'Gyula', one of the main reasons Juli tended to ask authors to stick with 'Juli V' in inscriptions. 337pp. Red paper over boards backed in red cloth, red and gilt stamped spine lettering. One miniscule spot to top edge, else FINE; very small nick to tail of DJ spine, exceedingly crisp and bright otherwise. McCarthy's fifth novel, first western, and first and only written in the full freedom of his mature style. Upon publication a few critics saluted its genius but 1985 America didn't have much appetite for such a blatantly grotesque apocalypse of the American drive West; Ahearn states only 1,500 copies sold (others have claimed 1,883) of 5,000 printed in the first edition, the rest marred with the dread felt remainder pen. Its commercial flop was a failure of the reading public not seen since Moby Dick, whose style and content Blood Meridian is often compared to. Following the success of the Border Trilogy, readers returned to Blood Meridian finding in it the purest distillate of McCarthy's powers, a perfectly harnessed thunderstrike which he had the wisdom to never attempt again. 'And another thing,' to quote Mark Hime, 'Blood Meridian has all the charm of cutting into a loaf of bread and finding a dead mouse, so don't take a shower before reading this book, because you are going to need a long one afterwards.'.
