Michael Chabon's prize-winning novel is introduced by Michael Moorcock, one of the most important figures in British science fiction and fantasy literature. A triumph of both cult and mainstream literature, 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay' won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2001. Delivering all the thrills of Golden Age comics and a deeply humane story about hope and tragedy - all via an exuberant literary voice - it has become one of the defining novels of the modern age. It is 1939, and Adolf Hitler casts a long shadow over Europe. Josef Kavalier has fled to New York, finding a kindred spirit in his comics-loving cousin Sammy Clay. Filled with dreams of liberty for those left behind, Josef and his new partner create the Escapist, a masked hero who can take the fight to the Nazis even as America remains reluctant to get involved. Yet in the real world, Joe's family remain in enormous danger. Can the comic book hero deliver a near impossible feat: escape from the nightmare that is Nazi occupied Europe?
