Philip Roth's novel "American Pastoral" is a farewell to the promises of the twentieth century - prosperity, social order, and family well-being. The main character of the novel, Swede Levov, a remarkable athlete in his school years, grew up during the post-war prosperity, married a former "Miss New Jersey," inherited his father's factory, and became the owner of a mansion in an idyllic village. But in 1968, his beautiful American luck unexpectedly changes for him. "American Pastoral" is a novel of bitterness, anger, and deep compassion - it is a gripping read. It is a true masterpiece. One of Roth's strongest novels... touching, kind, and grand. A true work of art. - The New York Times A stunning novel - deep, captivating, magnificent! - The Boston Globe A meticulously crafted novel. Its pages are charged with the energy of one of the deepest contemporary writers. - San Francisco Chronicle Philip Roth has never written with such conviction before. His novels have never had so many vivid characters. - Time A poignant novel... It is a masterpiece... A triumph... - Playboy A gripping, stirring novel. - People
