Ο ΚΑΤΑ ΓΚΑΡΠ ΚΟΣΜΟΣ
Εκδότης: ΜΕΔΟΥΣΑ
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 2730-0039

"Ο κατά Γκαρπ κόσμος" είναι ένας παράξενος και τρελός κόσμος. Η ίδια η σύλληψη και η γέννηση του Γκαρπ με την χρήση σεξουαλικού υποκατάστατου από τη μητέρα του, όσο και η ενηλικίωσή του συντροφιά με τους "παράξενους" φίλους της, του διαμόρφωσαν εντελώς προσωπικές απόψεις για τον κόσμο και τη ζωή, και τον οδήγησαν σε μια "μη πολιτισμένη" κοινωνική συμπεριφορά. "Ο κατά Γκαρπ κόσμος" είναι ένα δυνατό μυθιστόρημα, ζεστό και ανθρώπινο που διακρίνεται για το εξαιρετικό χιούμορ του. Με το έργο αυτό ο συγγραφέας του Τζων Ίρβινγκ πέτυχε τη διεθνή α...

(P/B) THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP
Εκδότης: BLACK SWAN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0752-0002

This is the life and times of T. S. Garp, the bastard son of Jenny Fields - a feminist leader ahead of her times. It is also the life and death of a famous mother and her almost-famous son; theirs is a world of sexual extremes - even of sexual assassinations. It is a novel rich with 'lunacy and sorrow'; yet the dark, violent events of the story do not undermine a comedy both ribald and robust. It provides almost cheerful, even hilarious evidence of its famous last line: 'In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases.' (From the...
