商品簡介
A man wakes to find his very self slipping through his fingers-memories fractured, identity in question, and the world around him suddenly strange and untrustworthy. In the shadowed corridors of postwar America, where reality and illusion entwine, the boundaries between self and other, sanity and chaos, are drawn razor-thin. This is psychological fiction at its most unnerving, a narrative that burrows deep into the mind to expose the raw nerves of an identity crisis. Written at the height of the 1950s science fiction renaissance, this novel stands apart for its fearless exploration of the human psyche. The story unfolds with the suspense of a science fiction mystery, yet it is the psychological drama that lingers, casting a spell of unease and fascination. The protagonist's journey is not through distant galaxies, but into the labyrinth of his own consciousness-where every certainty is suspect, and the search for truth becomes a battle for survival. Fans of mid-century speculative fiction will appreciate the deft blend of genre conventions with literary ambition. The narrative pulses with the tension of postwar fiction, capturing the anxieties of an era when the future seemed both thrilling and perilous. The writing is taut, the atmosphere charged with uncertainty, and the stakes as intimate as they are profound. Here, the conventions of American science fiction are transformed, offering a reading experience that is both gripping and thought-provoking. For collectors and classic-library enthusiasts, this is a rare opportunity to rediscover a work that has long been absent from the shelves. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Whether you are drawn by the intrigue of identity crisis fiction, the allure of classic science fiction, or the psychological complexity of speculative fiction, this novel promises a singular and unforgettable encounter.
