Description: The Children of Men - P.D. James - 1992 Borzoi Hardback Condition: Acceptable. Please see the images for more details. Cover art: Blurb: “The year is 2021, and the human race is-quite literally-coming to an end. Since 1995 no babies have been born, because in that year all males unexpectedly became infertile. Great Britain is ruled by a dictator, and the population is inexorably growing older. Theodore Faron, Oxford historian and, incidentally, cousin of the all-powerful Warden of England, watches in growing despair as society gradually crumbles around him, giving way to strange faiths and cruelties: prison camps, mass organized euthanasia, roving bands of thugs. Then, suddenly, Faron is drawn into the plans of an unlikely group of revolution-aries. His passivity is shattered, and the action begins. The Children of Men will surprise-and enthrall-P. D. James fans. Written with the same rich blend of keen characterization, narrative drive and suspense as her great detective stories, it engages powerfully with new themes: conflicts of loyalty and duty, the corruption of power, redemption through love. Ingenious, original, irresistibly readable, it confirms once again P. D. James's standing as a major novelist.” The Children of Men - P.D. James - 1992 Borzoi Hardback Condition: Acceptable.
