Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From one of the most powerful and original talents in science fiction comes the story of a new world--a strange world where solar radiation fluctuations have melted the polar ice caps, flooding the land and raising the temperature of the atmosphere.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Appearing in hardcover in America for the first time, this neglected Ballardian masterpiece promises to be a touchstone for environmentalists the world over. <p>First published in 1962, J.G. Ballard's mesmerizing and ferociously imaginative novel not only gained him widespread critical acclaim but also established his reputation as one of the finest writers of a generation. <em>The Drowned World</em> imagines a terrifying world in which global warming has melted the ice caps and primordial jungles have overrun a tropical London. Set during the year 2145, this novel follows biologist Dr. Robert Kearns and his team of scientists as they confront a cityscape in which nature is on the rampage and giant lizards, dragonflies, and insects fiercely compete for domination. Both an unmatched biological mystery and a brilliant retelling of <em>Heart of Darkness</em>--complete with a mad white hunter and his hordes of native soldiers--this "powerful and beautifully clear" (Brian Aldiss) work becomes a thrilling adventure with "an oppressive power reminiscent of Conrad" (Kingsley Amis).</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>JG Ballard's recently reissued masterpiece, <em>The Drowned World</em>, shows him to be the most important British writer of the late 20th century.-- "The Telegraph (UK)"<br>
