    Gut
    Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

    "A fully achieved work of art."--Ursula K. Le Guin   "The most engrossing book I've read this year, and the latest evidence that brilliant, challenging, rewarding writing of the highest order is just as likely to be found in the section labeled Science Fiction as the one marked Literature." -- Jim Higgins, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel   "Original, sophisticated, bristling with subversive ideas, and filled with unforgettably alien images . . . an amazing, sometimes brutal rhapsody on the uses of language." --The Christian Science Monitor   "Richly conceived . . . Embassytown has the feel of a word-puzzle, and much of the pleasure of figuring out the logic of the world and the story comes from gradually catching the full resonance of its invented and imported words." --The New York Times Book Review   "Miville's swing-for-the-fences gusto thrills. This is Big Idea Sci-Fi at its most propulsively readable." --Entertainment Weekly   "Miville [is] one of today's most exciting fabulist writers." --Los Angeles Times, PRAISE FOR CHINA MI VILLE Embassytown "I cannot emphasize enough how terrific this novel is. It's definitely one of the best books I've read in the past year, perfectly balanced between escapism and otherworldly philosophizing." --Io9.com Kraken   "The stakes [are] driven high and almost anything can happen. The reader is primed for a memorable payoff, and Mi ville more than delivers."- San Francisco Chronicle   The City & The City   "If Philip K. Dick and Raymond Chandler's love child were raised by Franz Kafka, the writing that emerged might resemble . . . The City & The City ."- Los Angeles Times   Perdido Street Station   "Compulsively readable . . . impossible to expunge from memory."- The Washington Post Book World   The Scar   "A fantastic setting for an unforgettable tale . . . memorable because of Mi ville's vivid language [and] rich imagination."- The Philadelphia Inquirer   Iron Council   "A masterwork . . . a story that pops with creativity."- Wired   Un Lun Dun   "Endlessly inventive . . . [a] hybrid of Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz and The Phantom Tollbooth ."-Salon, "A fully achieved work of art."-Ursula K.

And yes-China Mieville's new novel is one of his best...I cannot emphasize enough how terrific this novel is." --io9  "The Kafkaesque writer journeys to the distant edges of the universe in his latest sci-fi thriller." --Entertainment Weekly "Utterly astonishing&A major intellectual achievement." --Kirkus Reviews "Brilliant storytelling&The result is a world masterfully wrecked and rebuilt." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) Kraken   "The stakes [are] driven high and almost anything can happen.

    Synopsis
    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In the far future, humans have colonized a distant planet, home to the enigmatic Ariekei, sentient beings famed for a language unique in the universe, one that only a few altered human ambassadors can speak. Avice Benner Cho, a human colonist, has returned to Embassytown after years of deep-space adventure. She cannot speak the Ariekei tongue, but she is an indelible part of it, having long ago been made a figure of speech, a living simile in their language. When distant political machinations deliver a new ambassador to Arieka, the fragile equilibrium between humans and aliens is violently upset. Catastrophe looms, and Avice is torn between competing loyalties: to a husband she no longer loves, to a system she no longer trusts, and to her place in a language she cannot speak--but which speaks through her, whether she likes it or not.
