In this sequel to Rabbit, Run, John Updike resumes the spiritual quest of his anxious Everyman, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom.

Rabbit is abandoned by his family, his home invaded by a runaway and a radical, his past reduced to a ruined inner landscape; still he clings to semblances of decency and responsibility, and yearns to belong and to believe.

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...
