книга "Кролик, беги" — Джон АпдайкКролик, беги. "Кролик, беги" - первый роман тетралогии о Гарри Энгстроме по прозвищу Кролик, своеобразного opus magnus Апдайка, над которым он с перерывами работал тридцать лет. История "бунта среднего американца". Гарри отнюдь не интеллектуал, не нонконформист, не ниспровергатель основ. Просто сама реальность его повседневной жизни такова, что в нем подспудно, незаметно зреют семена недовольства, которым однажды предстоит превратиться в "гроздья гнева". Протест, несомненно, обречен. Однако даже обреченность на неудачу для Кролика предпочтительнее бездействия…
Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom is 26, has a job selling a kitchen gadget named MagiPeeler, and is married to Janice, a former salesgirl at the store where he worked. They have a two-year-old son named Nelson, and live in Mount Judge, a suburb of Brewer, Pennsylvania. He believes that his marriage is corrupt and something is missing from his life: Having been a basketball star in high school, Harry finds his middle-class family life unsatisfying. On the spur of the moment, he decides to leave his family and drive south in an attempt to "escape". However, after getting lost, he returns to his home town. Not wanting to return to his family, he instead visits his old basketball coach, Marty Tothero. That night, Harry has dinner with Tothero and two girls, one of whom, Ruth Leonard, is a part-time prostitute. |
