Détails du produit

‘The best Soviet SF writers, legitimate continuers of a Russian tradition extending from Nikolai Gogol.’
  1. The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction
Years after the aliens have been and gone, six landing sites, or Zones, around the world still hold the mysterious remnants of the visitation. These include dangerous but valuable artefacts and, despite the unimaginable terror of these toxic wastelands, stalker Redrick Schuhart feels compelled to keep coming back, his life dominated by the illegal trade in alien products. An unsettling and unforgettable world, the Strugatsky Brothers’ mind-bending novel is a hugely influential twist on a ‘first-contact’ story and was the inspiration for the Andrei Tarkovsky film Stalker. Every aspect of this remarkable edition radiates the shimmering, strangely compelling qualities of the Zones. Seven colour illustrations by award-winning illustrator Dave McKean visualise the Strugatsky Brothers’ masterful storytelling with startling effect, while the binding is blocked in silver and gold foils. Two-colour printing and McKean’s intricately drawn endpapers make this the ultimate collector’s edition for science-fiction aficionados. An edition limited to 600 hand-numbered copies is also available here.

High quality. There's much more integration of the artwork and coloring than I expected, including decorative bands at chapter/part headings. There's more to this than just the illustrations Folio shows on their site. I was pleasantly surprised.

One of my favorite novels. I wrote about it in graduate school. I destroyed my paperback copy making notes in it. It’s nice to now have a pristine copy I will keep free of marks and cherish forever.

The book is beautiful but as I haven't read it yet I'm unable to say it is VFM. Often I read a book in paperback and then if I decide it's a keeper and worth re-reading I get the folio editions. On this occasion I was swayed entirely by the artwork.
