About this book

Malachi Constant, a very rich man, is offered the chance to travel far into outer space and eventually live on Titan. He turns the offer down, and that choice starts a chain of strange events.

Kurt Vonnegut's 1959 novel is told from a future that looks back on an earlier time it calls the Nightmare Ages.

About the author

Kurt Vonnegut

Vonnegut was captured at the Battle of the Bulge and held prisoner in Dresden when Allied bombers destroyed the city in February 1945. He and the other prisoners survived inside a meat locker and were then put to work digging bodies out of the rubble. Twenty-three years passed before he could write Slaughterhouse-Five about it.
