Synopsis

SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE, a best-seller when it was first published in 1969, brought Kurt Vonnegut to prominence as a major voice in American fiction. Vonnegut was a POW held in Dresden in 1945 when the city was attacked by American bombers and virtually obliterated, leaving more than 130,000 people dead. He uses that event as the climax of this satirical and horrifying anti-war novel, in which a young man named Billy Pilgrim experiences much of what Vonnegut himself saw during the war. Unlike his creator however, Pilgrim has become "unstuck in time" following his abduction by aliens thus affording him the opportunity to travel freely across time, visiting different periods in his life in an attempt to sort out his complicated history. The book's anti-war stance, one reason for its success with the counterculture of the Vietnam War generation, is based on Vonnegut's premise that the dehumanization of people is to be avoided at all costs, and it is this stance that accounts for the novel's continued popularity.

This Easton Press edition is a timeless classic and an essential and luxurious addition to your private library.

You will find this book to be in absolutely perfect and brand new condition (further proof lies in the binding which will make “cracking” noises when you open the book as it is not yet “broken in”)- with the ONLY exception being that a 2” round gold “Library Of” seal has been affixed to a forward page of the book. This book has been maintained on a shelf in dedicated home library in a no children, smoke free home with a housekeeper that has performed regular dusting.

Therefore, in summary, this is nothing short of your opportunity to obtain a CLASSIC BOOK in MINT CONDITION and manufactured to ESTATE QUALITY for your private library that will surely become a FAMILY HEIRLOOM to be passed down!

Notes about the Pictures: You may in some images see reflections, shadowing, mirroring and other aspects that are NOT indicative of any defects in this book, but rather the environment in which the pictures were taken. This is due to the reflective nature of the natural leather book covers, gold inlay and gilding combined with the bright under counter halogen lighting. When you receive your book it will look even better than these pictures indicate!
