Birdsong

Local Description

Hutchinson, 1993. First edition, first impression. A true First of this collectible book at an entry level price. This ex-library copy is in good condition. The only library marks are a library stamp to the publication page and a blank sticker on the front free endpaper. The spine is cocked but otherwise the internals are clean and rate as fine. The d/w is unclipped and is near fine with only light bumping to the top edge. Overall a very good copy of a book that in reality is only slightly inferior to copies selling for many multiples of this price. Scans available if required.

Description

Published to international critical and popular acclaim, this intensely romantic yet stunningly realistic novel spans three generations and the unimaginable gulf between the First World War and the present. As the young Englishman Stephen Wraysford passes through a tempestuous love affair with Isabelle Azaire in France and enters the dark, surreal world beneath the trenches of No Man's Land, Sebastian Faulks creates a world of fiction that is as tragic as A Farewell to Arms and as sensuous as The English Patient. Crafted from the ruins of war and the indestructibility of love, Birdsong is a novel that will be read and marveled at for years to come.From the Trade Paperback edition.
