Sully

Táto séria s tichou iróniou a hlbokým porozumením pre zvláštnosti svojich svojských postáv rozpráva o Amerike obyčajných ľudí. Zameriava sa na životy postáv, ktoré sa snažia nájsť zmysel a spojenie tvárou v tvár životným výzvam. Príbehy často skúmajú témy rodiny, dospievania a hľadania šťastia v nečakaných miestach. Čitatelia sú vtiahnutí do intímnych portrétov jednotlivcov, ktorí sa vyrovnávajú s minulosťou a prítomnosťou.

    From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Empire Falls, this slyly funny, moving novel about a blue-collar town in upstate New York—and about Sully, one of its unluckiest citizens, who has been doing the wrong thing triumphantly for fifty years—is a classic American story. "Remarkable.... A revelation of the human heart." —The Washington Post Divorced from his own wife and carrying on halfheartedly with another man's, saddled with a bum knee and friends who make enemies redundant, Sully now has one new problem to cope with: a long-estranged son who is in imminent danger of following in his father's footsteps. With its uproarious humor and a heart that embraces humanity's follies as well as its triumphs, Nobody's Fool, from Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Richard Russo, is storytelling at its most generous. Nobody’s Fool was made into a movie starring Paul Newman, Bruce Willis, Jessica Tandy, and Melody Griffith. Look for Everybody’s Fool, available now, and Somebody’s Fool, coming soon.
