Daniel Keyes is a science fiction writer who won two of the most prestigious awards, the Hugo and the Nebula, for a short story and a novel with the same title: Flowers for Algernon. Almost twenty years later, the documentary novel The Mysterious Case of Billy Milligan was published, securing the writer’s worldwide fame.
Billy wakes up in a prison cell. He is accused of rape and robbery. Billy is shocked, because he did none of it! His last memory is the roof of the school from which he wanted to jump. He is told that seven years have passed since then. Billy is horrified. A piece of his life has been stolen from him again! They ask him: what does “a piece of his life was stolen” mean? And why “again”? It turns out that this is not the first time this has happened to him? But Billy cannot answer. Billy has already left. Instead, one of the twenty-four personalities is looking at the audience. She is here to protect Billy…
Each book in the series is a literary pearl.
The cover design is inspired by the styles of "quiet luxury" and "old money". The minimalist series "Pearl. Classics of Quiet Luxury" is created as an elegant addition to the iconic images of Princess Diana and Jacqueline Kennedy. These books can complete the stylish image of a successful girl, and also become part of the interior of an apartment, restaurant, hotel and other spaces.
Thanks to the metallized paper, the cover creates a glowing effect. The colors shimmer softly and quietly. On the spine, the book symbol is embossed in silver, which enhances the effect of internal light. Volumetric embossing of figures creates a pleasant tactile sensation.
The text is printed on white paper, soft to the touch. A large and convenient font has been selected for the series, which will not tire the eyes.
