About This Item
New York: Delacorte Press/Seymour Lawrence, 1994. Signed by the author. 25th Anniversary edition / First printing with a new introduction by the author. Black cloth spine, black paper-covered boards, Very fine in fine dust jacket. The author's breakthrough masterpiece. After twenty years of struggling for critical and popular success, this book gave him the audience and recognition he had sought. The horrific firebombing of Dresden, which he witnessed as a POW, shocked Vonnegut into a lifelong distrust of the senseless and amoral violence of all war. Number 18 on Modern Library's Best 100 Novels. A classic of counter-culture literature.
Synopsis
Slaughterhouse-Five, an American classic, is one of the world's great antiwar books. Centering on the infamous firebombing of Dresden, Billy Pilgrim's odyssey through time reflects the mythic journey of our own fractured lives as we search for meaning in what we fear most.
