Sinossi
"Lanark. Una vita in quattro libri" di Alasdair Gray, descritto dal Guardian come «Uno dei pilastri della narrativa del XX secolo», ormai considerato un classico e un caposaldo della letteratura distopica e fantastica, viene racchiuso in un prezioso cofanetto che contiene tutti e quattro i libri nella loro prima traduzione italiana, arricchito dalla prefazione di Jeff VanderMeer. «Possibile che di un libro così importante non si avesse notizia e non fosse mai stato tradotto? Possiamo dirlo: sì, era possibile. "Lanark" è un capolavoro». Vanni Santoni, La Lettura
