ANDROID KARENINA (A Quirk Classic)
Edition: Advance Reading Copy (trade paperback format. )
Philadelphia: Quirk Books, (2010). First edition - Co-author Ben H. Winters is back with "an all-new collaborator, legendary Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy, and the result is 'Android Karenina' an enhanced edition of the classic love story set in a dystopian world of robots, cyborgs, and interstellar space travel. As in the original novel, our story follows two relationships: the tragic adulterous romance of Anna Karenina and Count Alexei Vronsky, and the much more hopeful marriage of Konstantin Levin and Kitty Shcherbatskaya.These four, yearning for true love, live in a steampunk-inspired 19th century of mechanical butlers, extraterrestrial-worshiping cults, and airborne debutante balls." Illustrations by Eugene Smith. Discussion questions. 541 pp.
Condition: Very near fine in illustrated wrappers. (a new unread copy, but toning to edges of textblock.)
