Hearts in Atlantis
Autor Stephen Kingen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 noi 2017
În Low Men in Yellow Coats, Bobby Garfield, un băiat în vârsta de 11 ani descoperă o lume plină de venin în cartierul său, iar uneori adulții nu sunt cei care salvează situația, ci cei care declanșează teroarea.
În povestirea care dă titlul volumului, o gașcă de liceeni sunt prinși într-un joc de cărți, descoperă posibilitatea protestului și confruntă împreună întunericul care transformă zâmbetele nevinovate în țipete disperate.
În Blind Willie și Why We're in Vietnam, doi bărbați care au crescut alături de Bobby în suburbia din Connecticut încearcă să umple un gol lăsat de America post-Vietnam care i-a lăsat pustiiți sufletește.
În Heavenly Shades of Night are Falling, Bobby se întoarce în orașul natal pentru a afla un secret și dorința inimii care îl așteaptă.
Plină de pericole, suspans, dar și plină de căldură, Hearts in Atlantis duce cititorul spre locuri nemaîntâlnite, dar și spre locuri pe care nu le-au putut părăsi în întregime.

Descriere scurtă
The classic collection of five deeply resonant and disturbing interconnected stories from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King.Innocence, experience, truth, deceit, loss, and recovery are at the core of these five interconnected, sequential tales--each deeply rooted in the 1960s, and each scarred by the Vietnam War, which continues to cast its shadow over American lives, politics and culture. In Part One, "Low Men in Yellow Coats," eleven-year-old Bobby Garfield discovers a world of predatory malice in his own neighborhood. He also discovers that adults are sometimes not rescuers but at the heart of the terror. In the title story, a bunch of college kids get hooked on a card game, discover the possibility of protest, and confront their own collective heart of darkness, where laughter may be no more than the thinly disguised cry of the beast. In "Blind Willie" and "Why We're in Vietnam," two men who grew up with Bobby in suburban Connecticut try to fill the emptiness of the post-Vietnam era in an America which sometimes seems as hollow--and as haunted--as their own lives. And in "Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling," this remarkable book's denouement, Bobby returns to his hometown where one final secret, the hope of redemption, and his heart's desire may await him. Full of danger and suspense, full of heart, this spellbinding fiction will take some readers to a place they have never been...and others to a place they have never been able to completely forget. Nearly twenty years after its first publication, Hearts in Atlantis is powerful and astonishingly current. "You will see Stephen King in a new light. Read this moving, heartfelt tragedy and weep--weep for our lost conscience." --BookPage
