Sobre este item
London: Weidenfeld and Nicholson, 1968. First British edition and first printing. Hardcover. 288 pages. Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. A near fine copy in cloth boards with four lines partially blacked out to the copyright page (done by the publisher) and in a very good plus dust jacket with a few edge tears and other minor wear. Still, a pleasing copy of this book that looks very different than the U.S. edition.
Sinopse
The Armies of the Night (1968) is a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning nonfiction novel written by Norman Mailer and sub-titled History as a Novel/The Novel as History. Mailer essentially creates his own genre for the narrative, split into historicized and novelized accounts of the October 1967 March on the Pentagon. Mailer's unique rendition of the non-fiction novel was one of only a few at the time, and received the most critical attention. The time is October 21, 1967. The place is Washington, D.C. Depending on the paper you read, 20,000 to 200,000 protestors are marching to end the war in Vietnam, while helicopters hover overhead and federal marshals and soldiers with fixed bayonets await them on the Pentagon steps. Among the marchers is a writer named Norman Mailer. From his own singular participation in the day’s events and his even more extraordinary perceptions comes a classic work that shatters the mold of traditional reportage. Intellectuals and hippies, clergymen and cops, poets and army MPs crowd the pages of a book in which facts are fused with techniques of fiction to create the nerve-end reality of experiential truth.
