Převrat
ISBN: 9788088445081 / Czeski / 2022 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Paměti fanatického diktátora smyšlené země v subsaharské Africe, jehož tepou všechny čtyři manželky i milenka, českým čtenářům připomenou, proč americký spisovatel John Updike hned dvakrát získal Pulitzerovu cenu.
Kniha dosvědčuje, že základem dobrého humoru je schopnost dělat si legraci ze sebe samých. Pobaví autorskou nadsázkou, sžíravou obrazností, vytříbeným jazykovým mistrovstvím i pohledem na světové dění. Strhující groteska z dob, kdy literaturu ještě tolik nespoutávala politická korektnost, neváhá glosovat ideologie všeho...

A harvest and not a winnowing, this volume collects 103 stories, almost all of the short fiction that John Updike wrote between 1953 and 1975. How rarely it can be said of any of our great American writers that they have been equally gifted in both long and short forms, reads the citation composed for John Updike upon his winning the 2006 Rea Award for the Short Story. Contemplating John Updike s monumental achievement in the short story, one is moved to think of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, and perhaps William Faulkner...
