19996282Taipei: Institute of Current China Studies 1999. Staplebound. Very good. Various sizes mostly small octavo or quarto. 13 issues dated between September 1979 in the inaugural year - possibly the first issue and November of 1981. Then the run jumps to January 1987 Issue 97 and continues through September 1999 Issue 249 lacking only three issues within that run. Though incomplete a very substantial run of this Taiwan-published journal of mainland China. The issues in the spring and early summer of 1989 touch a great deal on the student protests in Tiananmen Square. Well-stocked in libraries we were hard-pressed to find a similarly large group of issues in commerce; nor did we find many single issues either. There is also an index by subject which covers the first 20 years of the magazine. Ex-library with some markings but generally a clean very readable set. Overseas shipping may incur extra charges.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -<br /> China Miéville emerged as one of the most influential voices in contemporary speculative fiction helping reshape fantasy through the fusion of science fiction horror surrealism Marxist theory and urban dystopian imagery.<br /> <br /> The Scar won the British Fantasy Award in 2003 and was shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award Hugo Award and Philip K. Dick Award. Together with Perdido Street Station and Iron Council it helped establish the Bas-Lag sequence as a landmark of modern weird fiction.<br /> <br /> Set immediately after the events of Perdido Street Station The Scar follows linguist Bellis Coldwine into the floating pirate-armada city of Armada one of the most imaginative settings in modern fantasy literature. Miéville blends elements of steampunk political allegory horror maritime adventure and grotesque invention into a densely layered narrative that helped redefine literary fantasy in the early 2000s.<br /> <br /> Unlike conventional epic fantasy grounded in medieval archetypes Miéville's Bas-Lag novels embrace industrial decay radical politics hybrid species and urban complexity. The Scar is often considered among his most ambitious and stylistically accomplished works balancing intellectual experimentation with large-scale adventure storytelling.<br /> <br /> The novel became central to the emergence of the 'New Weird' movement which rejected rigid genre boundaries in favor of darker stranger and more politically conscious speculative fiction.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: China Miéville Bas-Lag New Weird fiction steampunk fantasy signed limited editions Easton Press speculative fiction pirate cities in fiction literary fantasy British fantasy fiction modern weird literature New Crobuzon series Fantasy Weird Fiction Steampunk Speculative Fiction Science Fantasy.
