Winner of the National Book Award  "The most profound and accomplished American novel since the
end of World War II." — The New Republic   “A screaming comes across the sky. . .” A few months
after the Germans’ secret V-2 rocket bombs begin falling on London  British Intelligence
discovers that a map of the city pinpointing the sexual conquests of one Lieutenant Tyrone
Slothrop  U.S. Army  corresponds identically to a map showing the V-2 impact sites. The
implications of this discovery will launch Slothrop on an amazing journey across war-torn
Europe  fleeing an international cabal of military-industrial superpowers  in search of the
mysterious Rocket 00000.   Gravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic  a work as exhaustively
significant to the second half of the twentieth century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first.
Its sprawling  encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on
society make it an intellectual tour de force.  This Penguin Classics deluxe edition features a
specially designed cover by Frank Miller along with french claps and deckle-edged paper.
