Calificada por la crítica norteamericana como «obra maestra , Pastoral americana es la crónica lúcida y despiadada de las ilusiones perdidas de toda una generación.

Seymour Levov, el Sueco, atleta mítico en la escuela secundaria, afectuoso padre de familia, trabajador infatigable y acomodado heredero de la fábrica de su padre, llega a la mayoría de edad en la Norteamérica próspera y triunfante de la posguerra. Solo quiere hacer las cosas bien y llevar una vida tranquila. Pero la historia es más fuerte que él y le arrastra sin remedio cuando su hija Merry participa en un acto violento contra la guerra de Vietnam. Las devastadoras consecuencias alejarán al Sueco de cualquier esperanza de felicidad o coherencia espiritual.

En esta novela, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer en 1998, Philip Roth nos sumerge en la década más explosiva del siglo XX: los años sesenta. Y lo hace en plena forma, con la prosa medida y la sutileza intelectual que le caracterizan a la hora de retratar las falsas promesas del sueño americano.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From one of the most acclaimed writers of the twentieth century--a compulsively readable elegy for America's promises of prosperity, civic order, and domestic bliss, and one of Roth's most powerful novels ever (The New York Times).

A Los Angeles Times Best Fiction Book of the Last 30 Years

Here is Philip Roth's masterpiece, featuring Nathan Zuckerman and the story of Swede Levov, a legendary athlete at his Newark high school, who grows up in the booming postwar years to marry a former Miss New Jersey, inherit his father's glove factory, and move into a stone house in the idyllic hamlet of Old Rimrock. And then one day in 1968, Swede's beautiful American luck deserts him.

For Swede's adored daughter, Merry, has grown from a loving, quick-witted girl into a sullen, fanatical teenager--a teenager capable of an outlandishly savage act of domestic terrorism. And overnight Swede is wrenched out of the longed-for American pastoral and into the indigenous American berserk. Compulsively readable, propelled by sorrow, rage, and a deep compassion for its characters, American Pastoral gives us Philip Roth at the height of his powers.
