Reseña del editor:
He had in some sense, prepared the trap and fallen into it. He shuddered inside his newly dead universe. ' As a young boy, Frank Stapleton stumbles upon an unanswerable question about life and its meaning, and is devastated at the outcome. Now, half a century later and in retirement after a successful professional career, Frank has to face his doubts again through the problems of his family, colleagues and friends; in particular his son Stuart and his wife Francesca, who despite giving the appearance of a successful modern couple are about to part. It takes an unexpected potential tragedy to bring the story to its climatic resolution, and to an answer to the question posed to Frank all those years before.
Biografía del autor:
A former Booker Prize-winner for his novel Holiday, Stanley Middleton lives in Sherwood, near Nottingham. He is a retired school master, and since 1958 he has written a series of highly praised novels of contemporary English provincial life.

Attractive, impressionistic cover illustration by Jane Strother. ***SIGNED and warmly INSCRIBED and contemporaneously dated by the author in very small, neat blue ink on the title page: 'To Stuart and Janet with love, Stanley Middleton. 1997.' ***First impression of the true first edition. ***Very fine in blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. No inscriptions (other than the author's). Pages clean and bright. Spine tight. Gilt titles bright. Tiny light splash mark to bottom of front board. Tiny unobtrusive indentation to a few pages at top edge of text-block. ***In a very fine colour illustrated dustwrapper which has not been price-clipped, showing original publisher's price of £15.99.

Now, half a century later and in retirement after a successful professional career, Frank has to face his doubts again through the problems of his family, colleagues and friends; in particular his son Stuart and Stuart's wife Francesca, who despite giving the appearance of a successful modern couple are about to part. It takes an unexpected potential tragedy to bring the story to its climatic resolution, and to an answer to the question posed to Frank all those years before.' (Quote from inside front jacket blurb). ***'At a first glance, or even at second, Stanley Middleton's world is easily recognisable. The excellence of art, for Middleton, is an exact vision of real things as they are. And because he is himself so exact an observer, his world at third glance can seem strange and disturbing or newly and brilliantly lit with colour.' [A. S. Byatt - review quote from back of jacket blurb]. ***The first impression of the true first edition in its original dustwrapper in fine collectable condition - from the Booker Prize-winner of 'Holiday'. Uncommon, and scarce to find, signed and inscribed by the author. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Signed and Inscribed by Author.

Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Described as the Chekov of suburbia, Stanley Middletonn won the Booker Prize in 1976, and his wonderful novels gathered an enthusiastic following. He was a prolific writer who built up his readership with his addictable prose style and his ability to make the ordinary extraordinary. Ronald Blythe wrote We need Stanley Middleton to remind us what the novel is about. And Isobel Quigley wrote, A rocklike example of excellence. His signed first editions are much valued and sought out by the discerning collector, and this is a superb example. It is simply signed, without a dedication, on the title page, and the book is in an unread condition, and inside a perfect protected jacket Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng.
