John Updike - Nyúlháj

The hero of Updike's novel The Rabbit's Shoes, Harry Angstrom, enters the life of a period of pronounced prosperity - ten years after the events of the sequel The Rabbit's Cage. He lives in Brewer, Pennsylvania and works as a sales manager for Springer Motors, a Toyota dealership. It is 1979: Skylab, the first American space station, has crashed, longer and longer gas pipelines are winding through the land of the country, inflation is in double digits, while national self-awareness falls to a low point.

Regardless, Angstrom the "Rabbit" feels in good shape, ready to finally enjoy life - until his estranged son, Nelson, returns from the West Country and the echo of an old love visits the car dealership. Old and new characters populate the living space of the middle-aged "Rabbit", while he tries to get closer to the rainbow of happiness on his usual zigzag route.

The Rabbit's Skin is John Updike's famous series of novels, the third volume of the Rabbit Tetralogy. First published in Hungarian in 1984, translated by Árpád Göncz, 21. Század Kiadó now publishes the unforgettable classic of twentieth-century American literature in a new translation by László Gy. Horváth.
