L'oceano

by John Cheever, Adelaide Cioni (Translator)

Overview

“Sono rimasto fermo all’angolo della strada, apparentemente in attesa che scattasse il semaforo, invece ero in attesa e basta.” La “discesa agli inferi” di un manager “pensionato anzitempo” che tenta invano di resistere allo sprofondare lento e inesorabile nell'alienante tranquillità della borghesia americana. Finalmente in eBook i racconti di un grande maestro del Novecento. L’occasione per scoprire (o riscoprire) il più straordinario cantore dell’inquieta borghesia americana, vincitore del premio Pulitzer e ispiratore delle atmosfere di innumerevoli film e di serie di culto come “Mad Men”. Tratto da “I racconti”, pubblicato da Feltrinelli. Numero di caratteri: 50.614
