Martin Amis

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mai 2025

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Gregory Riding and Terry Service, foster brothers who loathe each other, are the central characters in Martin Amis’s pungent novel, originally published in 1978. For Gregory, London is a gilded galaxy, an endless whirl of smart parties, tony art galleries, and easy sexual conquests. Terry’s life is altogether more squalid, marred by a history of nagging sexual failures and missed opportunities. Inexplicably, success suddenly smiles on Terry as Gregory plunges to subterranean depths. But it is Gregory’s story that most engages the reader’s sympathy.

In this unusual novel, Amis provides a verbal feast for connoisseurs of fine writing; the prose is at times dazzling. But beneath the surface brilliance lies a serious exploration of contemporary life and morals.

Notă biografică

Martin Amis was twenty-three when he wrote his first novel, The Rachel Papers (1973). Over the next half century ¿ in fourteen more novels, two collections of short stories, eight works of literary criticism and reportage, and his acclaimed memoir, Experience ¿ he established himself as the most distinctive and influential prose stylist of his generation. To many of his readers, Amis was also the funniest. His intoxicating comedic gifts express a profound understanding of the human experience, particularly its most shocking cruelties, and Amis wrote with pathos and verve on an astonishing range of subjects, from masculinity and movie violence to nuclear weapons and Nazi doctors. His books, which have been translated into thirty-eight languages, provide an indelible portrait and critique of late-capitalist society at the turn of the twenty-first century. He died in 2023.
