Sebastian Hau

Clifford D. Simak won 3 Hugo Awards an 1 Nebula Award. He is on of the 4 greatest authors of the golden age of classical science fiction along with Asimov, Van Vogt and Heinlein, and City is his absolute masterpiece according to Michel Houellebecq, admirer of the author.
This copy of City is in good condition. Just the paper is very lightly yellowed due to age (60 years old). Note that the cover is very slightly misshapen as well as the first pages due to humidity, but this doesn’t at all affect reading the text or the book’s solidity. This book came from the personal collection of Stan Barets, the famous founder of Temps Futurs, the French bookstore specializing in science fiction. Stan Barets was the editor-in-chief of Playboy and the first translator of Katsuhiro Ōtomo’s Akira. He also contributed to the following major magazines of the genre: Fiction, Univers, Science-Fiction magazine and Métal Hurlant and directed Circus and Vécu at Glénat.
