Description: INVISIBLE MANby Ralph Ellison Copyright 1980 First Edition Library FIRST EDITIONFacsimile of First Edition With Slipcase and Dust JacketNew, MINT CONDITION The narrator begins telling his story with the claim that he is an “invisible man.” His invisibility, he says, is not a physical condition—he is not literally invisible—but is rather the result of the refusal of others to see him. He says that because of his invisibility, he has been hiding from the world, living underground and stealing electricity from the Monopolated Light & Power Company. He burns 1,369 light bulbs simultaneously and listens to Louis Armstrong’s “(What Did I Do to Be So) Black and Blue” on a phonograph. He says that he has gone underground in order to write the story of his life and invisibility. I am helping liquidate an estate for a friend. Her husband was an avid collector of books. I have hundreds to list, many rare and hard to find books. Please check back often as I will be listing new ones every day. Feel free to ask if you are looking for anything in particular. I will be listing many Folio Society books as well as the entire collection from the 100 Greatest Books ever written by Easton Press and many First Edition Facsimiles from The First Edition Library.
