Knihy Johna Irvinga se zdá mají vždy společného jmenovatele.....osiřelé dítě, zápasnický sport, jeden rodič a touha stát se spisovatelem. Začátky knih jsou náročné, ale když se autorovi podaří vtáhnout vás do děje, potom se kniha špatně odkládá. I lokace příběhů je podobná, pokud člověk byl v Nové Anglii, rád se tam těmito knihami vrací. Příběh je moc pěkný, čtivý a miluji jeho nekonečná souvětí se stále se opakujícími nezkrácenými jmény, která charakterizují postavy.....

Viac o knihe
In 1954, a twelve-year-old boy in a logging settlement in northern New Hampshire mistakenly identifies the local constable’s girlfriend as a bear, leading both him and his father to become fugitives. They flee Coos County, traveling to Boston, southern Vermont, and Toronto, pursued by the relentless constable. Their only ally is a fiercely libertarian logger, a former river driver who becomes their protector. Spanning five decades, the narrative reflects on the past half-century in the U.S., illustrating how deep-seated hatreds often go unchecked. From its gripping opening line to its poignant conclusion, the story is infused with the historical depth and emotional resonance characteristic of the author’s previous works. It shares the same violent and unsettling qualities found in his earlier bestseller. What sets this tale apart is the author’s distinctive voice, marking him as a master storyteller. In a reflective moment towards the end, he notes the unpredictable nature of human connections, emphasizing how people can enter and exit our lives unexpectedly, much like a sudden flight from Heaven to Earth.
