Product Information

Kurt Vonnegut's masterpiece, Slaughterhouse-Five is "a desperate, painfully honest attempt to confront the monstrous crimes of the twentieth century" ( Time ). Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time * One of The Atlantic 's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years Slaughterhouse-Five , an American classic, is one of the world's great antiwar books. Centering on the infamous World War II firebombing of Dresden, the novel is the result of what Kurt Vonnegut described as a twenty-three-year struggle to write a book about what he had witnessed as an American prisoner of war. It combines historical fiction, science fiction, autobiography, and satire in an account of the life of Billy Pilgrim, a barber's son turned draftee turned optometrist turned alien abductee. As Vonnegut had, Billy experiences the destruction of Dresden as a POW. Unlike Vonnegut, he experiences time travel, or coming "unstuck in time." An instant bestseller, Slaughterhouse-Five made Kurt Vonnegut a cult hero in American literature, a reputation that only strengthened over time, despite his being banned and censored by some libraries and schools for content and language. But it was precisely those elements of Vonnegut's writing--the political edginess, the genre-bending inventiveness, the frank violence, the transgressive wit--that have inspired generations of readers not just to look differently at the world around them but to find the confidence to say something about it. Authors as wide-ranging as Norman Mailer, John Irving, Michael Crichton, Tim O'Brien, Margaret Atwood, Elizabeth Strout, David Sedaris, Jennifer Egan, and J. K. Rowling have all found inspiration in Vonnegut's words. Jonathan Safran Foer has described Vonnegut as "the kind of writer who made people--young people especially--want to write." George Saunders has declared Vonnegut to be "the great, urgent, passionate American writer of our century, who offers us . . . a model of the kind of compassionate thinking that might yet save us from ourselves." More than fifty years after its initial publication at the height of the Vietnam War, Vonnegut's portrayal of political disillusionment, PTSD, and postwar anxiety feels as relevant, darkly humorous, and profoundly affecting as ever, an enduring beacon through our own era's uncertainties.

    A book you can’t read once!

    Slaughterhouse 5 is a masterpiece, and the signature work of Kurt Vonnegut. The story revolves around central character Billy Pilgrim, who is captured during World War II, and confined in a slaughterhouse in Dresden during the Dresden Fire Bombings. Billy becomes “unstuck in time”, shifting between the present, Dresden, and alien capture by the Tralfamadorians. Author Vonnegut was captured by the Germans during the closing days of WWII, was transported to Dresden, and was present during the Fire Bombing. This is one of the most powerful books I’ve ever read. It has earned a place on virtually every Top 100 books list. Get it – read it. And so it goes.

    A Book to Read Before You Die

    This book is simply amazing and someway or another life changing. Kurt V's style is so smooth, and fast pace it has got to be my favorite book that I've read. I've read a lot of books but this is the first one I've from start to finish within a week of receiving it. If I were to nit pick the book is too short, but that's a good thing, because you want to leave your readers wanting more I feel. The nonfiction mixed with fiction and fantasy play a great part, as they take the reader on for a journey they never saw coming. The stories of life and death, so it goes.

    Review of Slaughterhouse-Five

    126 of 134 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Worth all five stars, January 31, 2001 By Andyrew (Beaver, PA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Slaughterhouse-Five (Mass Market Paperback) Slaughter House Five deserves its reputation of being a piece of great American literature. The book follows a young man, Billy Pilgrim through his life. Billy believes aliens, tralfamadorians to be exact, have abducted him. We assume that it's through these aliens that he learns to time travel, a skill he frequently uses. In the book Pilgrim bounces around time to all the various portions of his life, many times returning to World War II where he was captured, taken prisoner, and held in slaughterhouse five in Dresden, Germany. He seems to be defined by ...

    Why Vonnegut is the new Swift, Pope, or Voltaire....

    Slaughterhouse-Five is in the Top 10 of all-time American novels. It is possibly Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s greatest piece of work - which is saying something, considering all of his other great novels (Cat's Cradle, Timequake, Breakfast of Champions, Mother Night, Sirens of a Titan, and Player Piano/Utopia 14). The story of Billy Pilgrim - the story of Vonnegut, much like parts of Mother Night, Timequake, Palm Sunday, and other bits and pieces of Vonnegut's works - part fiction/part-autobiography; and this is why we love him. This is why we adore him. This is why he is the king of satire. I recommend it to every person who ever asks me for a novel to read. Just as a recommend many of Vonnegut's other works; but this is always the first I recommend. It works on the ...

    Slaughter House Five

    I had checked this book out of my public library a few months back after my neighbor had mentioned this author and book.after reading it and laughing quite a bit and loving every part of this masterpiece, i started to spread the word about the author Kurt Vonnegut.i have since after reading Slaughter house five embarked on a journey to find and read everything Kurt Vonnegut wrote.sadly he has passed away,but in my humble opinion Kurt Vonnegut is the greatest American author since Twain or Hemmingway.i highly reccomend not only this book, but also anything by Kurt Vonnegut.
