Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. A sixth printing of the true first edition, with 'This edition first published in 1992 by Hutchinson - Reprinted 1992 (five times)' on the printer's page. ***Very good in black cloth-covered boards with silver titles to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. No significant bumps or creases - just the typical light creasing to the top and tail of the spine. Corners sharp. There is a very slight reading lean to the book. Spine tight. Page block edges beautifully clean. Internally also very good with no inscriptions and no internal foxing. Pages clean. Some light creases to a few top corner tips but no serious creases or tears. Black endpapers with the Nazi emblem embossed on the front free endpaper. ***In a very good colour-illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £14.99. The dustwrapper is complete without any chips or loss, but the edges of the dustwrapper are slightly rubbed and creased, especially at the top and tail of the spine. No tears and no significant fading. The large foldover flaps are uncreased. The spine remains unfaded but the mainly white dustwrapper has yellowed slightly overall with age over the last 30+ years (as is often found with this book). This later printing carries reviews of the book on the back panel rather than the author photograph which earlier printings have. It also states 'The Number One Bestseller' at the bottom of the front panel instead of 'A Novel' which earlier printings have. ***372 pages including a two-page Author's Note at the back of the book. 242mm x 160mm. ***'April, 1964. The naked body of an old man floats in a lake on the outskirts of Berlin. In one week it will be Adolf Hitler's 75th birthday. A terrible conspiracy is starting to unravel ---.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***"Convincing in every detail -- You read this book with a shivering sense of what we escaped." - Martha Gellhorn, Daily Telegraph (Review quote taken from the back panel) ***'Robert Dennis Harris CBE (born 7 March 1957) is a British novelist and former journalist. Although he began his career in journalism and non-fiction, he is best known for his works of historical fiction. Beginning with the best-seller "Fatherland", Harris focused on events surrounding the Second World War, followed by works set in ancient Rome. His most recent works are varied in settings but are mostly set after 1870. Several of Harris's novels have been adapted into visual media, with the most prominent being "The Ghost Writer" (2010) and "An Officer and a Spy" (2019), for which he co-wrote the screenplays with director Roman Polanski, and "Conclave" (2024). "Fatherland" is set in a world where the Axis won World War II, the story's protagonist - Xavier March - is an officer of the Kripo, the criminal police, who is investigating the murder of a Nazi government official who participated at the Wannsee Conference. A plot is thus discovered to eliminate all of those who attended the conference, to help improve German relations with the United States. The novel subverts some of the conventions of the detective novel. It begins with a murder and diligent police detective investigating and eventually solving it. However, since the murderer is highly placed in the Nazi regime, solving the mystery does not result in the detective pursuing and arresting the murderer.' (Wiki) ***A sixth printing of the true first edition of Robert Harris' debut novel "Fatherland", in the original dustwrapper. A good reading copy in the original hardcover format. ***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. Seller Inventory # 9225
