Krátky popis
A collectible 50th anniversary deluxe edition featuring an updated
introduction by Jay Parini and first edition cover art and
illustrated maps of Steinbeck s route by Don Freeman In September
1960, John Steinbeck embarked on a journey across America. He felt
that he might have lost touch with the country, with its speech,
the smell of its grass and trees, its color and quality of light,
the pulse of its people. To reassure himself, he set out on a
voyage of rediscovery of the American identity, accompanied by a
distinguished French poodle named Charley, and riding in a
three-quarter-ton pickup truck named Rocinante. His course took him
through almost forty states: northward from Long Island to Maine,
through the Midwest to Chicago, onward by way of Minnesota, North
Dakota, Montana (with which he fell in love), and Idaho to Seattle,
south to San Francisco and his birthplace, Salinas, eastward
through the Mojave, New Mexico, Arizona, to the vast hospitality of
Texas, to New Orleans and a shocking drama of desegregation,
finally, on the last leg, through Alabama, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
and New Jersey to New York. ",Travels with Charley in Search of
America", is an intimate look at one of America's most beloved
writers in the later years of his life a self-portrait of a man who
never wrote an explicit autobiography. Written during a time of
upheaval and racial tension in the South which Steinbeck witnessed
firsthand ",Travels with Charley", is a stunning evocation of
America on the eve of a tumultuous decade.This Penguin Classics
