It is one of the most influential and widely-read novels of the post-war period and has been a huge international bestseller over many decades. Continually in print it has long been controversial both in its immediate Cold War context and in later history.It is in some ways a realist novel but in others is more akin to a work of science fiction a dystopia or a satire. It also has strong affiliations to Gothic in its plotting motifs and affective states. Full of horror and terror it contains prophetic dreams and a central character who thinks of himself as a 'monster' a 'ghost' and 'already dead'. Like Frankenstein and Dracula it is fascinated by the power of a documentary remnant addressed to an unknown reader.</p> Oxford University Press hardcover
