Seller's Description:
Very Good ++ No Jacket. 8vo. iv, 477 pp, b&w tissue protected frontispiece of the author, list of b&w illustrations by the author. First American Edition, 1897; Preceded the British edition. "The Martian, has been called his most autobiographical; in it he recounts his school days in Paris and the experience of losing his sight. The narrator and main character, Barty Josselin, attempts suicide after he loses his sight in one eye, prompting the appearance of Martia, the Martian, with whom he now shares his body. Du Maurier also introduces the concept of automatic writing in this novel: while Josselin sleeps, Martia writes and Josselin becomes a world-famous writer. Like Peter Ibbetson, The Martian addresses the idea of life beyond the body. But, it is also one of the earlier science-fiction works, and maybe the first work to feature a Martian, published just prior to Wells's War of the Worlds in 1898, and perhaps even prefigures the Edgar Rice Burroughs vision of mars (A Princess Of Mars, 1911)." Inked name on ffep. Lightly age-toned spine and text block edges, else, Pristine. Clean, tight and strong binding with no underlining, highlighting or marginalia. Orange cloth with decorative stamped-green floral pattern and gilt lettering to front board, and gilt lettering to spine.
