Twilight Country by Knut Faldbakken
Hardcover, UK | Scarce Edition — Signed and Dated by the Author | 1st Edition | 1st Printing | 1993 | Publisher: Peter Owen Publishers
A remarkable and signed, inscribed, and dated first edition from Knut Faldbakken — one of Norway's most important and internationally recognised literary authors, whose dystopian novels placed him in the vanguard of Scandinavian speculative and literary fiction. Faldbakken is best known for his two-volume dystopian sequence Uår (Sweetwater and Twilight Country), which imagined a brutal post-collapse society and influenced a generation of Nordic writers. This copy is signed and inscribed by Faldbakken in Norwegian, with a London date of 13 May 1993, suggesting a personal inscription made at a literary event or signing in London. Published by Peter Owen, the prestigious independent literary press known for introducing foreign literature to English readers. A genuinely scarce signed copy.
Condition: As New, but will show signs of previous ownership. Dust cover started to lose colour on the spine.
An extraordinary signed, inscribed, and dated first edition from one of Norway's most important literary authors — personally signed in London in 1993.
