Czarownice z Eastwick

Czarownice z Eastwick w nowym, porywającym przekładzie Katarzyny Boguckiej-Krenz! W spokojnym miasteczku na Rhode Island, gdzie czas płynie leniwie, w atmosferze - zdawałoby się - sielanki, mieszkają trzy wyjątkowe kobiety: Alexandra, Jane i Sukie, po prostu czarownice. Ten mały sabat wiedzie dość ustabilizowane życie, w które nagle wkracza z impetem postać nie z tego świata - Darryl Van Horne. Miasteczko zaczyna drżeć w posadach, a codzienność trzech tytułowych bohaterek nabiera ognistych rumieńców. Ta powieść o nieprzemijającym uroku jest znakomitą satyrą na amerykańskie społeczeństwo doby wojny w Wietnamie. George Miller nakręcił na jej podstawie film z gwiazdorską obsadą: Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon i Jackiem Nicholsonem w rolach głównych. John Updike urodził się w 1932 roku. Jest eseistą, poetą i prozaikiem. Największą sławę przyniósł mu cykl powieściowy o Króliku.

DNF about 50 pages in. I just can't with all this BS. Less than 5 pages in, I knew I was probably not going to like it. It is very, very obviously written by a man. Some men do ok with writing women. This is not one of those cases. I have so many problems with this book from just these 50ish pages, ...

I tried, I really did. I loved this movie and for me the movie was much better than this book. It was over-written (is that a thing?) because that's how it felt to me. I just wanted to read about these three women who are witches living in Eastwick. Instead Updike spends so much time on a lot of min...

There is no plot. There's just 3 witches sleeping with every man, married or not, in their small coastal town. And they call it healing. The writing is convoluted, the plot doesn't exist, and the characters aren't likeable.

I think reading this slowly from late Summer to Md-Autumn is the perfect time.Oh, and... it so was not what I did remember from the movie with Nicholson, when I was a child.

Não foi um livro muito apelativo. Foi algo aborrecido e várias partes do enredo foram bastante cansativas, mas confesso que também teve os seus momentos divertidos e cómicos e as personagens fizeram-me lembrar muito superficialmente As Donas de Casa Desesperadas, pela atitude delas, e as próprias pe...
