Everyman

by: Philip Roth (author)

3.50 5

Powieść Philipa Rotha, która ukazała się w Stanach w 2006 r. nawiązuje do słynnego angielskiego moralitetu z XV wieku.

Bohater Rotha, podobnie jak legendarny Everyman, przyjmuje wyzwanie śmierci. Ma za sobą zwyczajne życie zwykłego człowieka: kolejne małżeństwa, kolejne dzieci, dobrą pracę w agencji reklamowej, a przed sobą - konieczność zmierzenia się z odchodzeniem rówieśników, z własną słaboącią, chorobą i nieuchronnym końcem.

When the main ch...
