Decorative Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. The task of the oddly assorted group of academic experts is no less than to diagnose the human condition, to examine the reasons why the species is bent on self-destruction, and to propose remedies before the rumbles of war explode. Ironically, the jealousies, suspicions and aggressions of the various members are a microcosm of the problems they are trying to solve. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

First Edition
First edition. 8vo. Black boards lettered in gilt, in pictorial dustwrapper. A fine copy in a near fine, price clipped, dustwrapper. Koestler's last novel, written 21 years after his previous one, The Age of Longing. The novel takes place at a scientific conference devoted to the subject of saving humankind from self-destruction and provides a satirical portrayal of "academic conferences and their failure to achieve more than an outlet for the narcissistic tendencies of scholars." [Vernyik].
