About This Item
Stated first Edition/First Printing with the complete number line; a very good volume in a fine dust jacket boldly SIGNED by the author to the title page. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. This copy is in very good condition with only some mild spotting to the exterior text block and page edges including one larger spot that has a light bleed through, and a few notes and underlines scattered throughout written in by a previous owner; housed in a crisp, clean, and bright fine dust jacket. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box.
An ambitious, luminously written novel that ranges seamlessly between the past and future and back again to the present, The Known World weaves together the lives of freed and enslaved blacks, whites, and Indians -- and allows all of us a deeper understanding of the enduring multidimensional world created by the institution of slavery.
