Description

This Easton Press edition of Hothouse by Brian W. Aldiss is part of the acclaimed Masterpieces of Science Fiction series, known for its luxurious presentation and focus on significant works within the genre. Bound in genuine leather with 22kt gold accents, this collector's edition features a hubbed spine, archival-quality paper, gilt page edges, moiré silk endpapers, and a satin ribbon marker. The craftsmanship reflects the publisher’s dedication to preserving great science fiction literature in a format built to last. Originally published in 1962, Hothouse presents a vivid, imaginative vision of Earth's distant future, where the planet has ceased rotating and is overrun by rampant vegetation under a dying sun. Humanity has devolved into a primitive state, struggling to survive in an alien yet eerily beautiful environment dominated by sentient plants and strange creatures. Aldiss’s novel is both an adventure and a meditation on evolution, entropy, and survival, written with lush detail and striking originality. This Easton Press edition celebrates the work’s lasting impact on speculative fiction. Pre-Owned. See photos for condition. Ships via USPS Media Mail. Please message with any questions.
