The Tiger's Wife (signed copy)
New York: Random House, 2011. 1st Edition. Original Cloth. As New. PUBLISHING DETAILS: A first edition, first printing of Tea Obreht's Orange Prize-winning first novel, signed and dated by the author. 338 pages. Size; 22 x 15 cms (9" x 6"). Weight; 527g (19 ozs). CONDITION: I would rate the book and unclipped dustjacket as mint. They are as new. Ms Obreht has flat signed the title page and added the date 03.14. 2011. The dustjacket is protected in a clear, removable sleeve. THE NOVEL: 'Having sifted through everything I have heard about the tiger and his wife, I can tell you that this much is fact: in April of 1941, without declaration or warning, the German bombs started falling over the city and did not stop for three days. The tiger did not know that they were bombs...' A tiger escapes from the local zoo, padding through the ruined streets and onwards, to a ridge above the Balkan village of Galina. His nocturnal visits hold the villagers in a terrified thrall. But for one boy, the tiger is a thing of magic - Shere Khan awoken from the pages of The Jungle Book. Natalia is the granddaughter of that boy. Now a doctor, she is visiting orphanages after another war has devastated the Balkans. On this journey, she receives word of her beloved grandfather's death, far from their home, in circumstances shrouded in mystery. From fragments of stories her grandfather told her as a child, Natalia realises he may have died searching for 'the deathless man', a vagabond who was said to be immortal. Struggling to understand why a man of science would undertake such a quest, she stumbles upon a clue that will lead her to a tattered copy of The Jungle Book, and then to the extraordinary story of the tiger's wife. Tea Obreht was born in 1985 in the former Yugoslavia, emigrating to the US in 1997. She was the youngest author on The New Yorker's Top 20 Writers under 40 List, and one of the youngest authors ever to be extracted in the magazine. REVIEWS: "As enchanting as it is surprising ... Obreht's prose style is full-bodied and vibrant, and she conjures brilliant images on every page." - SUNDAY TIMES. "A stunning tale with the mythic quality of a fairy story" - TIMES (Book ref. 001176) £34.00
