This Modern Library edition of a true colossus among adventure stories is reprinted from the original 1932 novelization of the movie script, and includes a Preface by Mark Cotta Vaz, the preeminent biographer of Merian C. Cooper, producer of the original 1933 classic film.
Introduction by Greg Bear
Preface by Mark Cotta Vaz
The giant prehistoric gorilla King Kong is one of the most recognized images in our culture. So great is the mighty Kong’s hold on the popular imagination that his story–a gripping yarn of man versus nature, coupled with a fantastical update of the Beauty and the Beast legend–has been thrice made into a motion picture (most recently in 2005) and referenced endlessly in every medium, from books to prime-time sitcoms.
Beneath King Kong’s cultural significance, however, is a tense and surprisingly tender story. One cannot help but be frightened by Kong’s uncontrollable fury, be saddened over the giant’s capture, mistreatment, and exploitation by venal showmen, or sympathize with the beast’s ill-fated affection for the down-on-her-luck starlet Ann Darrow.

The King Kong Modern Library Classics arrived in great condition, but the packaging was kind of disappointing. The corners of the box were slightly dented, though the book itself was untouched. Just a minor issue for an otherwise lovely addition to my collection.

Great Addition to Any Library
I bought this Modern Library Classics edition by King Kong for my husband, who adores classic novels. He was super pleased with the new condition of the book. My only complaint is that the shipping took a bit longer than expected, but it was worth the wait!

Disappointed with My Purchase
I was excited to receive the King Kong Modern Library Classics, but when it arrived, the spine was damaged. It seemed like it didn’t handle shipping well. I really wanted to enjoy this book, but now I have to return it. Wish the packaging had been better!

Wonderful Edition, Minor Hiccup
This Modern Library Classics by King Kong is beautiful! The print is clear and the pages seem durable. However, my edition had a slight printing error on the first page which was a bit annoying. Still, I love reading it!
