Sobre este item
NY: Doubleday & Company, 1961. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. First edition. Octavo (8.5 x 5.75 in.); 239pp.; red cloth boards. Minor shelf- wear, light toning to textblock edges, else near fine. In a very good price-clipped jacket showing light fading to the red spine text, a 12" closed tear and related creases at top of front panel, and a 1" closed tear to rear panel. The first collection of Henderson's stories (in the form of a fix-up novel) about a race of aliens who are forced to emigrate to Earth following the destruction of their homeworld. Virtually indistinguishable from humans though endowed with telepathy and other extraordinary abilities, generations of The People must struggle to pre- serve their culture while escaping detection and blending in with their new environment. A unique and powerful utopian vision, exploring themes far more subtle--religious intolerance, cultural trauma, the power of empathy--than those at play in most science fiction of the time.
