Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The first book in his award-winning 'Rabbit' series, John Updike's Rabbit, Run contains an afterword by the author in Penguin Modern Classics. It's 1959 and Harry 'Rabbit' Angstrom, one time high school sports superstar, is going nowhere. At twenty-six he is trapped in a second-rate existence - stuck with a fragile, alcoholic wife, a house full of overflowing ashtrays and discarded glasses, a young son and a futile job. With no way to fix things, he resolves to flee from his family and his home in Pennsylvania, beginning a thousand-mile journey that he hopes will free him from his mediocre life. Because, as he knows only too well, 'after you've been first-rate at something, no matter what, it kind of takes the kick out of being second-rate'. John Updike (1932-2009) was born in Shillington, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Harvard College in 1954, and spent a year at Oxford, England, at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art. From 1955 to 1957 he was a member of staff at The New Yorker. Updike was the author of twenty-one novels as well as numerous collections of short stories, poems and criticism, and is one of only three authors to win more than one Pulitzer Prize. His most famous works are the Harry 'Rabbit' Angstrom series, all of which are published in Penguin Modern Classics: Rabbit, Run (1960), Rabbit Redux (1971), Rabbit is Rich (1981) and Rabbit at Rest (1990). If you enjoyed Rabbit, Run, you might like Don DeLillo's Americana, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. 'It is sexy, in bad taste, violent and basically cynical. And good luck to it' Angus Wilson, Observer 'That special polish, that brilliance; Updike is among the best' Malcolm Bradbury 'Brilliant and poignant . By his compassion, clarity of insight, and crystal-bright rose, [Updike] makes Rabbit's sorrow his and our own' Washington Post. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Softcover. Condition: deutliche Gebrauchsspuren. Stories that trace the decline and fall of a marriage, a history made up of the happiness of growing children and shared life, and the sadness of growing estrangement and the misunderstandings of love. John Hoyer Updike (18 March 1932 ? 27 January 2009) was an American novelist, poet, short story writer, art critic, and literary critic. Updike's most famous work is his Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom series (the novels Rabbit, Run; Rabbit Redux; Rabbit Is Rich; Rabbit At Rest; and the novella "Rabbit Remembered"), which chronicles Rabbit's life over the course of several decades, from young adulthood to his death. Both Rabbit Is Rich (1981) and Rabbit At Rest (1990) received the Pulitzer Prize. Updike is one of only three authors (the others were Booth Tarkington and William Faulkner) to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once. He published more than twenty novels and more than a dozen short story collections, as well as poetry, art criticism, literary criticism and children's books. Hundreds of his stories, reviews, and poems appeared in The New Yorker, starting in 1954. He also wrote regularly for The New York Review of Books. Describing his subject as "the American small town, Protestant middle class," Updike was well recognized for his careful craftsmanship, his unique prose style, and his prolificity. He wrote on average a book a year. Updike populated his fiction with characters who "frequently experience personal turmoil and must respond to crises relating to religion, family obligations, and marital infidelity." His fiction is distinguished by its attention to the concerns, passions, and suffering of average Americans; its emphasis on Christian theology; and its preoccupation with sexuality and sensual detail. His work has attracted a significant amount of critical attention and praise, and he is widely considered to be one of the great American writers of his time. Updike's highly distinctive prose style features a rich, unusual, sometimes arcane vocabulary as conveyed through the eyes of "a wry, intelligent authorial voice" that extravagantly describes the physical world, while remaining squarely in the realist tradition. He famously described his own style as an attempt "to give the mundane its beautiful due." In englischer Sprache. 256 pages. 183x99x20 mm.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. A5 - A German language edition hardcover book in very good condition with a dust jacket in very good- condition. A tight, clean, sound copy in green cloth covered boards and illustrated endpapers with very minor overall shelf wear with light tanning of the outside paper edges. The dust jacket has very minor overall shelf wear with a closed tear (less than 0.25") at the front bottom left corner and another (about 0.5") at the back top right corner plus there is some light overall edge wear with creasing plus there is some light yellowing of the endflaps. The story is set in a fictional American small town it describes the lives of a group of upper middle class couples who meet each other regularly for dinner, sports and agree to cocktail parties. The loose circle of friends at the heart of the novel and consists of ten married couple. The men are wealthy building contractors, academics and doctors and the women are all housewives. Initially Updike presents the individual marriages and the friendships within this group as stable but he gradually makes it clear that indifference, contempt, misunderstandings and alienation have crept into every relationship. The novel is set against the political background of the 1960s and offers a critical perspective on life among the upper middle class in small-town America. Each of the main characters suffers from self-doubt, alienation and boredom. At first adultery seems to be a way out of these feelings of emptiness but even the affairs eventually become dispassionately routine. Updike uses the story to question the value that American society has come to place on consumption since it appears that even friendships and sexuality have become comodities to be consumed. John Hoyer Updike (1932 2009) was an American novelist, poet, short story writer, art critic, and literary critic. He produced more than twenty major novels and collections of short stories as well as collecitons of essays and poetry. In 1957 he left his job as editor of 'The New Yorker' to become a full-time professional writer. In 1958 his first book was published, a collection of poetry, and in 1959 his first novel was published. Updike is best known for his 'Rabbit' and his 'Bech Books' series of novels. The 'Rabbit' series: 'Rabbit, Run' (1960), 'Rabbit Redux' (1971), 'Rabbit is Rich' (1981), 'Rabbit at Rest' (1990) and 'Rabbit Remembered' (2002) were author's venue for capturing and commenting on the mateial development of the US and the changes in American sensibilities between the late 1950s and the end of the millennium. The 'Bech Books': 'Bech: A Book' (1970), 'Bech is Back' (1982), 'Bech at Bay' (1998) and 'The Complete Henry Bech' (2001) were used by Ubdike to portray, in a comic and broadly satirical way, his own personal literary persona. John Updike was the recipient of many major literary awards including repeated consideration for the Nobel Prize for Literature. Some of his more notable literary awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship (1959), the National Book Award in Fiction (1964, 1982), the O. Henry Prize (1966/1991), the National Medal of Arts (1989), two Pulitizer Prizes and the PEN/Faulkner Award (2004).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. PULITZER PRIZE WINNER The middle-aged hero of Rabbit, Run, returnsfrom one of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth century. The hero of John Updikes Rabbit, Run, ten years after the hectic events described in Rabbit Redux, has come to enjoy considerable prosperity as Chief Sales Representative of Springer Motors, a Toyota agency in Brewer, Pennsylvania. The time is 1979: Skylab is falling, gas lines are lengthening, the President collapses while running in a marathon, and double-digit inflation coincides with a deflation of national confidence. Nevertheless, Harry Angstrom feels in good shape, ready to enjoy life at lastuntil his son, Nelson, returns from the West, and the image of an old love pays a visit to his lot.
