The Children of Men

Description Additional info Product reviews

A dystopian novel that has been described as pointed in its social criticism and deep in its theosophical reflection. It is set in a 1921 England that is steadily depopulating due to mass infertility. Caryn James of The New York Times, called it "wonderfully rich" and described it as "a trenchant analysis of politics and power".  In November 2019, the BBC News included this book on its list of the 100 most influential novels.

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1993. 1st American Edition, 241 pages. Hardcover with Dustjacket despite some minor age spots on the top of the text block, this book is in FINE condition. The dustjacket is also FINE. SIGNED by James.
