Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 391 pages. Published in 2004. The author's twenty-second novel. One of the greatest novels of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Philip Roth's "The Plot Against America". His counter-factual historical novel. Explores a brilliantly imagined scenario of mass fear and takes it to its logical conclusion. So here goes: Charles A. Lindbergh defeats FDR for the Presidency in 1940. Lindbergh captured the country's imagination twice: Through his solo Atlantic crossing in 1927 and the tragic kidnapping and murder of his son. He was the prototypical American hero: Brave, handsome, a "role model". He was also an isolationist, a Nazi sympathizer, and a Fascist. It is these latter attributes that inform the novel. "Roth interweaves historical names such as Walter Winchell, who tries to run against Lindbergh. The twist at the end is more than surprising, it is positively ingenious. Roth has written a magnificent novel, arguably his best work in a long time. It is tempting to equate his scenario with current events, but resist, resist. Of course it is a cautionary tale, but beyond that, it is a contribution to American letters by a man working at the top of his powers" (Valerie Ryan). In his maturity and after a lifetime of brilliant and prolific writing, Roth has pulled off the unthinkable: Another masterpiece. An absolute "must-have" title for Philip Roth collectors. This title is a great book. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are in multiple subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Six of Philip Roth's novels were selected as among the Top 20 works of American fiction of the last 25 years: "American Pastoral", "The Counterlife", "Operation Shylock", "Sabbath's Theater", "The Human Stain", and "The Plot Against America". One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PHILIP ROTH TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0618509283. no.
