By Stephen King.First published 1978.
Published by Doubleday.
Hardcover.
ISBN-10: 0385199570
ISBN-13: 978-0385199575
Description:
Stephen King’s
apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and tangled in an elemental
struggle between good and evil remains as riveting – and eerily plausible – as
when it was first published.
One of The Atlantic’s
Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years! This edition includes all of the
new and restored material first published in The Stand: The Complete and
Uncut Edition.
A
patient escapes from a biological testing facility, unknowingly carrying a
deadly weapon: a mutated strain of super-flu that will wipe out 99 percent of
the world’s population within a few weeks. Those who remain are scared,
bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emerge – Mother Abagail, the
benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in
Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the nefarious “Dark Man,” who delights in
chaos and violence. As the dark man and the peaceful woman gather power, the
survivors will have to choose between them – and ultimately decide the fate of
all humanity.

Ursula K. Le Guin, on being an introvert and a writer:
Hardly anybody ever writes anything nice about introverts.
Extroverts rule.
This is rather odd when you realise that about nineteen writers out of twenty are introverts.
We are being taught to be ashamed of not being 'outgoing'.
But a writer's job is ingoing.
- Ursula K. Le Guin.
