Here & in the stories that accompany it, including "The Conversion of the Jews" and "Defender of the Faith", Roth depicts Jewish lives in 1950s America w/ unflinching sharpness of observation. In "Letting Go", a sprawling novel set largely against the backdrop of Chicago in the 1950s, Roth portrays the moral dilemmas of young people cast precipitously into adulthood, & in the process describes a skein of social & family responsibilities as they are brought into focus by issues of marriage, abortion, adoption, friendship, & career. The novel's expansiveness provides a wide scope for Roth s gift for vivid characterization, & in his protagonist Gabe Wallach he creates a nuanced portrait of a responsive young academic whose sense of morality draws him into the ordeals of others with unforeseen consequences. * The LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting editions ever made" (New Republic). * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book w/ our greatest elegance & care for FREE shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL within the U.S. w/ Domestic USPS PRIORITY MAIL available for a nominal additional fee of $14.00 & all international orders via Mandatory USPS FIRST CLASS AIRMAIL at our below-cost posted rates.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: New. First Edition. For the last half century, the novels of Philip Roth have re-energized American fiction and redefined its possibilities. Roths comic genius, his imaginative daring, his courage in exploring uncomfortable truths, and his assault on political, cultural, and sexual orthodoxies have made him one of the essential writers of our time. By special arrangement with the author, The Library of America now inaugurates the definitive edition of Roths collected works. This first volume presents Goodbye, Columbus and Five Short Stories, the book that established Roths reputation on publication in 1959 and for which he won the National Book Award, and his first novel, Letting Go (1962).The title novella, Goodbye, Columbus, the story of a summer romance between a poor young man from Newark and a rich Radcliffe co-ed, is both a tightly wrought tale of youthful desire and a satiric gem that takes aim at the comfortable affluence of the postwar boom. Here and in the stories that accompany it, including The Conversion of the Jews and Defender of the Faith, Roth depicts Jewish lives in 1950s America with an unflinching sharpness of observation.In Letting Go, a sprawling novel set largely against the backdrop of Chicago in the 1950s, Roth portrays the moral dilemmas of young people cast precipitously into adulthood, and in the process describes a skein of social and family responsibilities as they are brought into focus by issues of marriage, abortion, adoption, friendship, and career. The novels expansiveness provides a wide scope for Roths gift for vivid characterization, and in his protagonist Gabe Wallach he creates a nuanced portrait of a responsive young academic whose sense of morality draws him into the ordeals of others with unforeseen consequences.LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nations literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, Americas best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
