Krátky popis
Edna Ferber, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Show Boat and Giant,
achieved her first great success with a series of stories she
published in American Magazine between 1911 and 1913. The stories
featured Emma McChesney: smart, savvy, stylish, divorced mother,
and Midwest traveling sales representative for T. A. Buck's
Featherloom skirts and petticoats. With one hand on her sample case
and the other fending off advances from salesmen, hotel clerks, and
other predators, Emma holds on tightly to her reputation: honest,
hardworking, and able to outsell the slickest salesman. Like her
compact bag of traveling necessities, Emma has her life boiled down
to essentials: her work and her seventeen-year-old son, Jock. Her
experience has taught her that it's best to stick to roast beef,
medium--avoiding both physical and moral indigestion--rather than
experiment with fancy sauces and exotic dishes. Yet she never shies
away from a challenge, and her sharp instincts and common sense
serve her well in dealing with the likes of Ed Meyer, a
smooth-talking, piano-playing salesman; Blanche LeHay, prima donna
of the Sam Levin Crackerjack Belles; and T. A. Buck Jr., the
wet-behind-the-ears son of the founder of Featherloom.
