Krátky popis
Britain's favourite writer of narrative non-fiction Bill Bryson
travels back in time to a forgotten summer when America came of
age, took centre stage, and, in five eventful months, changed the
world for ever. In the summer of 1927, America had a booming stock
market, a president who worked just four hours a day (and slept
much of the rest of the time), a semi-crazed sculptor with a mad
plan to carve four giant heads into an inaccessible mountain called
Rushmore, a devastating flood of the Mississippi, a sensational
murder trial, and a youthful aviator named Charles Lindbergh who
started the summer wholly unknown and finished it as the most
famous man on earth. (So famous that Minnesota considered renaming
itself after him.) It was the summer that saw the birth of talking
pictures, the invention of television, the peak of Al Capone's
reign of terror, the horrifying bombing of a school in Michigan by
a madman, the ill-conceived decision that led to the Great
Depression, the thrillingly improbable return to greatness of a
wheezing, over-the-hill baseball player named Babe Ruth, and an
almost impossible amount more. In this hugely entertaining book,
Bill Bryson spins a story of brawling adventure, reckless optimism
and delirious energy, with a cast of unforgettable and eccentric
characters, with trademark brio, wit and authority.
