Published posthumously, du Maurier’s final novel is a semi-autobiographical account of his struggle with vision loss incorporating elements of fantasy and fairy tale fiction. Originally serialized in \u003ci\u003eHarper’s Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Martian\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful story of romance, tragedy, and redemption. “When so great a man dies, it is generally found that a tangled growth of more or less contentious literature has already gathered round his name during his lifetime. He has been so written about, so talked about, so riddled with praise or blame, that, to those who have never seen him in the flesh, he has become almost a tradition, a myth—and one runs the risk of losing all clew to his real personality.” Barty Josselin is dead, leaving it up to his friend Robert Maurice to present a fair and accurate record of his life and achievements. After graduating from the Institution F. Brossard in Paris, Barty returns to his native England. As his vision begins to fail, causing him suicidal thoughts, he is visited in a dream by a female spirit from the planet Mars. With her guidance, he becomes a renowned writer. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of George du Maurier’s \u003ci\u003eThe Martian\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 203 x 127 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781513133744\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Du Maurier","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44098839838970,"sku":"9781513133744","price":14.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1669984760236_book.jpg?v=1670313498","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-martian-9781513133744","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
