NEMESIS (PB)
Επισκόπηση Βιβλίου
Its the sweltering summer of 1944, and Newark is in the grip of a terrifying epidemic. Decent, athletic twenty-three year old playground director Bucky Cantor is devoted to his charges and ashamed with himself because his weak eyes have excluded him from serving in the war alongside his contemporaries. As polio begins to ravage Buckys playground - child by helpless child - Roth leads us through every emotion such a pestilence can breed: the fear, the panic, the anger, the bewilderment, the suffering and the pain. The genius of Philip Roth...back at his imperious best in this heartbreaking tale...
The eloquence of Roths storytelling makes Nemesis one of his most haunting works
Daily Mail
Cantor is one of Roths best creations and the atmosphere of terror is masterfully fashioned
