Brian Aldiss RUINS First Edition

First edition first print hardback of RUINS by Brian Aldiss with illustrations by Salim Patell and published by Hutchinson in 1987.

The book is in near fine condition (quarterbound brown cloth boards with gilt lettering to black cloth spine) with light creasing to the bottom edges of the spine. The book is in a near fine unclipped dust jacket which is protected in an archival sleeve and has light creasing to the bottom of the spine. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions.

Ruins exemplifies the novella form - and shows Brian Aldiss at the top of his writing powers. Departing from the science-fictions arena in which his reputation has chiefly derived, he tells the story of a sad and self-absorbed everyman who recovers simply by acknowledging the power of the human spirit. 

85 pages including Illustrations.
