1963DC826NY: Pantheon 1963. Book. Very Good to Near Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 1st printing 1963. "Wilson a bored middle-aged banker is 'reborn' by the 'company' into a new identity. Adjusting to his new life he is even less happy than he was before and gradually understands that the price paid for a second chance is too high. A Kafka-like exploration of the depersonalization of modern life. The benign indifference bureaucratic efficiency and curteous reasonableness of the company are more disturbing than overt malevolence. John Frankenheimer's 1966 film version with Rock Hudson as the protagonist was one of the scariest films of that decade."

1939223811939. Campbell John W. ed. Astounding Science-Fiction archive 1939 documents a central moment in American science fiction publishing when pulp magazines helped consolidate the genre's Golden Age through technologically oriented storytelling serialized fiction scientific essays and editorial emphasis on rational problem solving. Campbell became editor of Astounding Science-Fiction in late 1937 and remained associated with the magazine through its later identity as Analog making these 1939 issues part of the editorial period most closely linked to the rise of hard science fiction and the professionalization of modern speculative fiction. The archive supports research into pulp publishing prewar technological imagination serialized genre fiction and the early publication context for writers including Clifford D. Simak L. Sprague de Camp Manly Wade Wellman and Theodore Sturgeon.<br /> <br /> Astounding Science-Fiction. Vols. XXII-XXIV. New York: Street & Smith Publications 1939. Five issues. Archive of five pulp magazine issues from January March April June and September 1939 with pictorial wrappers serialized novels novelettes short fiction scientific articles cover art and reader-oriented genre material. The issues appear during the magazine's Campbell editorship and show the cultural sphere of late-1930s science fiction through adventure plots scientific speculation alien contact technological conflict planetary engineering future war anxieties humor and experiments in scale that linked pulp entertainment to scientific literacy.<br /> <br /> 1 Campbell John W. ed. Astounding Science-Fiction. Vol. XXII No. 5. New York: Street & Smith Publications 1939. The January issue includes "The Blue-Men of Yrano" by Warner Van Lorne "Maiden Voyage" by Vic Phillips short fiction by L. Sprague de Camp Malcolm Jameson Arthur J. Burks and Norman L. Knight and a science article comparing photographic and telescopic observation. With cover art by John Frew the issue shows Astounding's mix of adventure fiction technical explanation humor and speculative treatment of contact and invention.<br /> <br /> 2 Campbell John W. ed. Astounding Science-Fiction. Vol. XXIII No. 1. New York: Street & Smith Publications 1939. The March issue includes "Cloak of Aesir" by Don A. Stuart Campbell's pseudonym alongside "Children of the 'Betsy B'" by Malcolm Jameson work by H. L. Gold and Part 2 of Clifford D. Simak's "Cosmic Engineers." The issue is useful for tracing Campbell's dual role as editor and writer and for documenting how Astounding combined alien-human tension technologically mediated emotion youth-centered rebellion and large-scale cosmic engineering within a single issue.<br /> <br /> 3 Campbell John W. ed. Astounding Science-Fiction. Vol. XXIII No. 2. New York: Street & Smith Publications 1939. The April issue features "Worlds Don't Care" by Nat Schachner "Revolt" by A. M. Phillips fiction by Eando Binder and Harry Walton and the concluding installment of Simak's "Cosmic Engineers." The issue's plague exile revolt and working-life motifs place scientific speculation in relation to social strain showing how late-1930s pulp science fiction used adventure forms to process crisis labor and planetary risk.<br /> <br /> 4 Campbell John W. ed. Astounding Science-Fiction. Vol. XXIII No. 4. New York: Street & Smith Publications 1939. The June issue includes Clifford D. Simak's "Hermit of Mars" Harl Vincent's "The Morons" Nat Schachner's "When the Future Dies" and L. Sprague de Camp's science feature "Design for Life" with cover art by Graves Gladney. Its contents bring together Martian conflict dehumanization future collapse and speculative biology illustrating how Astounding paired fiction with scientific commentary in the same editorial environment.<br /> <br /> 5 Campbell John W. ed. Astounding Science-Fiction. Vol. XXIV No. 1. New York: Street & Smith Publications 1939. The September issue includes "Forces Must Balance" by Manly Wade Wellman "Masson's Secret" by Raymond Z. Gallun "Atmospherics" by Victor Valding and Theodore Sturgeon's "Ether Breather" with cover art by Hubert Rogers. "Ether Breather" is identified by bibliographic sources as Sturgeon's first published science fiction story giving this issue particular importance within the archive as evidence of a major writer's entrance into the field through Campbell's Astounding.<br /> <br /> Typical pulp toning modest edge wear and some spine wear with interiors complete; good to very good overall. Substantive five-issue 1939 run of Astounding Science-Fiction showing Campbell-era editorial direction prewar hard science fiction serialized genre experimentation and an early appearance by Theodore Sturgeon within one of the defining American science fiction magazines of the twentieth century. unknown
