SIGNED by Anthony Burgess EARTHLY POWERS | Shortlisted, Booker Prize

Description: SIGNED by Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Gorgeous, collectible copy of an important novel of the 20th century. Octavo, original half cloth. Jacket design by One Plus One Studio. In Earthly Powers Burgess created his masterpiece. At its center are two twentieth-century men who represent different kinds of power Kenneth Toomey, a past-his-prime author of mediocre fiction, a man who has outlived his contemporaries to survive into, bitter, luxurious old age, living in self-exile on Malta; and Don Carlo Campanati, a man of God, eventually of church revolution and a candidate for sainthood beloved Pope, who rises through the Vatican as a shrewd manipulator to become the architect. Through the lives of these two modern men Burgess explores the very essence of power in a narrative that spans from Hollywood, to Dublin, Nairobi, Paris, and beyond. Excellent condition, just the slightest edgewear. Please see the high-quality photos for condition details. Ships free, carefully packaged, bubble-wrapped, in a heavy-duty cardboard box. "Burgess is the great postmodern storehouse of British writing-an important experimentalist; an encyclopedic amasser, but also a maker of form; a playful comic, with a dark gloom." (Malcolm Bradbury).
