3d Appartament Extreme

Couples - J. Updike

wonderful novel! It is impossible to break away from her. For me it so happened that it was due to the sick and caused her not sleeping, but the zaczytałam.


60s America. A small town inhabited by young married couples. Mores of a small population. Powered by the sexual revolution, the pill was introduced, and the American public feels liberated lifestyle. Przyjaźniące the pair exchanged sexual partners in a very discreet way the American way.

Everything changes the appearance of a new pair, she is an educated woman, who was just a dream became pregnant, her husband is a busy researcher - a careerist. Its immediacy and ease of with which adapts to current relationships, especially in an affair with one of the men of concern. However, her husband was the boldest and most moral character throughout the novel, the only one who is able to resist it rozpasaniu surrounding obyczajowemu. Feeling and change the rules prevailing in the town of relations.

Updike wrote one of the best analysis of American society, in which American dream, the rich homes in the suburbs and evenly trimmed lawns are just a cover for moral decay. The author asks important questions the merits of setting boundaries, rules, of the need for fidelity and power of feelings. Updike's novel is kept in a climate of excellent films deposited sixties "Far From Heaven," "Graduate," "Revolutionary Road" and the TV series "Mad Men."
