Pre-Owned The Gunslinger (Revised Edition): The Dark Tower I (Paperback) 0452284694 9780452284692

Eerie, dreamlike, set in a world that is weirdly related to our own, The Gunslinger introduces Roland Deschain of Gilead, of In-World that was, as he pursues his enigmatic antagonist to the mountains that separate the desert from the Western Sea. Roland is a solitary figure, perhaps accursed, who with a strange singlemindedness traverses an exhausted, almost timeless landscape. The people he encounters are left behind, or worse left dead. At a way station, however, he meets Jake, a boy from a particular time (1977) and a particular place (New York City), and soon the two are joined khef , ka , and ka-tet . The mountains lie before them. So does the man in black and, somewhere far beyond...the Dark Tower."
