Małżeństwo wagi półśredniej
ISBN: 9788381231947 / Polski / Miękka / 2018 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Intrygująca, niejednoznaczna powieść, stawiająca pytanie o sens przekraczania ustalonych norm moralnych, a zarazem niepozbawiona charakterystycznego Irvingowskiego humoru. Wbrew temu, co zdaje się sugerować tytuł, nie jest to książka o jednym, ale o dwóch małżeństwach, których wzajemne relacje, zrazu niewinne i czysto przyjacielskie, przeradzają się z czasem w związek o znacznie intymniejszym i bardziej złożonym charakterze. Nowa sytuacja, oparta na rytuale zamiany partnerów, przynosi uczestnikom tego osobliwego procederu poczucie wyzwolenia i euforii, by już wkrótce...

The 158-Pound Marriage
ISBN: 9780345417961 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The darker vision and sexual ambiguities of this erotic, ironic tale about a menage a quatre in a New England university town foreshadow those of The World According to Garp; but this very trim and precise novel is a marked departure from the author's generally robust, boisterous style. Though Mr. Irving's cool eye spares none of his foursome, he writes with genuine compassion for the sexual tests and illusions they perpetrate on each other; but the sexual intrigue between them demonstrates how even the kind can be ungenerous, and even the well-intentioned, destructive.
