About this Item
First Edition. 8vo, publisher s original cream cloth with lettering in green. In the original printed dustjacket. 278. A fine, bright copy. Dustjacket is a bit edgeworn. FIRST EDITION OF THIS TERRIFYING AND HEART-STOPING TOUR DE FORCE. A very famous and collectable modern first edition, although not at all popular with canoe salesmen. The New York Times, in re-reviewing it upon the 40th anniversary of its publication said, "Deliverance" is the kind of novel few serious writers attempt any longer, a book about wilderness and survival whose DNA contains shards of both "Heart of Darkness" and "Huckleberry Finn. It was an unsettling book that arrived, as if on cue, at an unsettled time. In its primitive violence readers caught echoes of Vietnam, the Sharon Tate murders, even of John F. Kennedy s assassination. In its elegiac lament for a disappearing river, the book chimed along with America s budding environmental movement.". Seller Inventory # 12632
