Ο Άχμαντ είναι ένας τυπικός διαψευσμένος έφηβος της φτωχολογιάς του Νιου Τζέρσι: εγκαταλελειμμένος από τον Αιγύπτιο πατέρα του σε τρυφερή ηλικία, μεγαλωμένος από μια μάλλον αδιάφορη μητέρα και περικυκλωμένος από την ασχήμια του κόσμου, έχει βρει καταφύγιο στον πύρινο λόγο του Προφήτη και στις υποσχέσεις για αιώνια ζωή. Προκειμένου όμως να την κατακτήσει, πρέπει να περάσει από τις συμπληγάδες της τζιχάντ, από το θάνατο. Μόνη ελπίδα αποτροπής ο εξηντάχρονος σύμβουλος επαγγελματικού προσανατολισμού στο σχολείο του Τζακ Λίβαϊ - τυπικό δείγμα κ...

(P/B) THE POORHOUSE FAIR
Εκδότης: PENGUIN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-1871

At the Diamond County Home for the Aged, the inmates prepare for the annual ritual of the Poorhouse Fair, a summer celebration at which the old and infirm sell their produce on stalls to the people of the local town. Bitter, resentful and edging towards senility, the elderly residents of the Home take pride every year in the responsibility and self-respect they gain from this one day. But when the fair goes less well than the old folks had hoped, they are in no doubt who to blame: Conner, the new prefect of the home. Together, they beg...

(P/B) THE COMPLETE HENRY BECH
Εκδότης: PENGUIN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-1612

Henry Bech, the celebrated author of Travel Light, has been scrutinized, canonized and vilified by critics and readers across the world. Here, the experiences of this bemused literary icon, one of Updike's greatest creations, are described in hilarious detail, as he travels the world struggling to break his writer's block; returns to his native America to find new success with Think Big, his all-time blockbuster; and visits communist Czechoslovakia, where he is greeted by a dizzyingly adoring public. Brilliantly comic and deeply poignant...

Εκδότης: PENGUIN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-1626

On a spring day in Vermont, seventy-eight-year-old painter Hope Chafetz tells the story of her life to Kathryn, a young interviewer from New York. Questions send Hope back to her youth, to the heady postwar days of American art and her relationships with the artists who defined their times. As the day wears on, Kathryn and Hope - interviewer and interviewee - try to understand one another across the gulf of age, experience and time that lies between them. And subtly, as each comes to know the other, their relationship changes... (From the ...

(P/B) ROGER'S VERSION
Εκδότης: PENGUIN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-1625

Middle-aged, brilliant and bored, Roger Lambert is a professor of Divinity at a New England university. Firmly convinced that religious belief can only be justified by recourse to pure faith, he is dismissive when visited by a gangling student who claims, with evangelical zeal, that computer technology is on the brink of proving the existence of God. But when his unhappy wife flings herself into an affair with the younger man, Roger's faith in his own placid life is thrown into question. With his marriage close to collapse, he finds hims...

(P/B) THE EARLY STORIES: 1953-1975
Εκδότης: PENGUIN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-2775

Gathering together almost all the short fiction that John Updike published between 1953 and 1975, this collection opens with Updike's autobiographical stories about a young boy growing up during the Depression in a small Pennsylvania town. There follows tales of life away from home, student days, early marriage and young families, and finally Updike's experimental stories on 'The Single Life'. Here, then, is a rich and satisfying feast of Updike - his wit, his easy mastery of language, his genius for recalling the subtleties of ordinary li...

(P/B) THE WOMEN WHO GOT AWAY
Εκδότης: PENGUIN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-1060

In the small town of Pierce Junction adultery is the popular pastime and pillow talk the common currency.

United by the theme of love, the writings in the Great Loves series span over two thousand years and vastly different worlds. Readers will be introduced to love’s endlessly fascinating possibilities and extremities: romantic love, platonic love, erotic love, gay love, virgin...

SHORT STORIES AND A SEQUEL, 'RABBIT REMEMBERED'
Εκδότης: PENGUIN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3452-1616

What has become of the Angstroms? 'Rabbit Remembered' is a glorious, novella-length sequel to John Updike's quartet of novels about Harry 'Rabbit' Angstrom. Several old strands come together at last, and the dead man's survivors fitfully entertain his memory while pursuing their own happiness over the edge of the millennium. The place is, as before, the area of Brewer, Pennsylvania; the time, the last months of 1999. The dozen short stories that precede 'Rabbit Remembered' revisit many of the locales of John Updike's fiction: the small Pe...
