The Human StainThorndike Press, 2000 - 614 páginas Set in 1990s America, where conflicting moralities and ideological divisions are made manifest through public denunciation and rituals of purification, The Human Stain concludes Philip Roth's eloquent trilogy of postwar American lives that are as tragically determined by the nation's fate as by the "human stain" that so ineradicably marks human nature. This harrowing, deeply affecting novel is a magnificent successor to his Pulitzer Prize-winning Vietnam-era novel American Pastoral and his McCarthy-era novel I Married a Communist, which won the Ambassador Book Award of the English-Speaking Union. |
