Bound in red cloth and 1/2 blue paper covered boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have shelf-wear present to the extremities (boards mottled). No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. A novel which was both an enormous best seller in Japan and the basis for a very popular film. The Japanese archipelago is being wrenched by enormous forces-a parable for our times on how we deal with natural disasters, the consequences of global warming, national identity and the essential relocation of millions of people. Translated from the Japanese by Michael Gallagher. After dropping anchor for the night near a small island to the south of Japan, a crew of fishermen awaken to find that the island has vanished without a trace. An investigating scientist theorizes that the tiny island has succumbed to the same force that divided the Japanese archipelago from the mainland and that the disastrous shifting of a fault in the Japan Trench has placed the entire country in danger of being swallowed by the sea. Based on rigorous scientific speculation, Japan Sinks recounts a completely credible series of geological events. The story unfolds from multiple points of view, offering fascinating perspectives on the catastrophe's political, social, and psychological effects. Winner of the Mystery Writers of Japan Award and the Seiun Award, this prescient 1973 science-fiction novel foreshadowed the consequences of the 1995 Osaka-Kobe earthquake and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.; 8vo 8"-9" tall; 184 pages.
