Sobre este item
Suntup Editions, 2021. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. Signed Copy. First Edition/First Printing. A square solid tight clean unread unused unopened copy still in the original publisher's shrinkwrap. An exhilarating journey through sprawling worlds inhabited by wonderfully strange creatures, Imajica is an astonishing feat of the imagination, straight out of the nightmares of Clive Barker. Published in 1991, this year marks the 30th anniversary of this epic fantasy of myth, magic and forbidden passion. Vast in conception, meticulously detailed in execution, and apocalyptic in its resolution, Imajica is a tale of ill-fated lovers lost among worlds teetering on the edge of destruction. Gentle is a sensualist and master art forger whose life unravels when he encounters Judith Odell, a woman whose power to influence the destinies of men is greater than she knows, and Pie 'oh' pah, an alien assassin who comes from a hidden dimension, one of five in a great system known as Imajica. As Gentle, Judith, and Pie 'oh' pah travel the Imajica, they uncover a trail of crimes and intimate betrayals, leading them to a revelation so startling that it changes reality forever. Upon its release, the novel received high praise from critics and readers alike. Washington Book World raved, "Rich in plot twists, byzantine intrigues and hidden secrets, Imajica is a Chinese puzzle box constructed on a universal scale. Barker has an unparalleled talent for envisioning other worlds." Many of the ideas for those worlds came to Clive Barker in dreams. The author was so inspired, he worked at an intense pace to complete the novel in fourteen months, writing up to sixteen hours a day, seven days a week. Barker has frequently named the book his personal favorite of all his writings. 6" x 9" trim size. 1026 Pages. Limited to 1000 copies. Full cloth, smyth-sewn binding. Four-hits foil stamping. Seventeen full color illustrations by Jody Fallon. Foil stamped letterpress printed title page, section divider pages and Colophon.

Signed by Jody Fallon. Housed in a color shifting paper covered slipcase with an acrylic coating. Premiums pack with all pre-orders. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND NORMALLY SHIPS NEXT DAY. .
Sinopse
Imajica is a fantasy novel by British author Clive Barker. Barker names it as his favorite of all his writings. The work, 825 pages at its first printing in 1991, chronicles the events surrounding the reconciliation of Earth, called the Fifth Dominion, with the other four Dominions, parallel worlds unknown to all but a select few of Earth's inhabitants. Wide in scope, elaborate in its imagery, and meticulous in its detail, the novel covers themes such as God, sex, love, gender and death.
