Las raíces de los Wapshot se hunden en Saint Botolphs, un pueblo pesquero donde la única persona que conserva patrimonio es la excéntrica tía Honora. Cheever nos presenta a Leander Wapshot, entrañable padre de familia; su respetable mujer, Sarah, y sus dos hijos, obligados a labrarse el futuro en la gran ciudad: Moses, un triunfador nato, y Coverly, un joven dubitativo ante su bisexualidad que bien podría ser un alter ego del autor. Cálida e irónica, la mirada de Cheever despliega aquí su comprensión hacia nuestras debilidades y disecciona con lucidez el ocaso de los privilegios. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION When The Wapshot Chronicle was published in 1957, John Cheever was already recognized as a writer of superb short stories. But The Wapshot Chronicle, which won the 1958 National Book Award, established him as a major novelist. Based in part on Cheever's adolescence in New England, the novel follows the destinies of the impecunious and wildly eccentric Wapshots of St. Botolphs, a quintessential Massachusetts fishing village. Here are the stories of Captain Leander Wapshot, venerable sea dog and would-be suicide; of his licentious older son, Moses; and of Moses' adoring and errant younger brother, Coverly. Tragic and funny, ribald and splendidly picaresque, The Wapshot Chronicle is a family narrative in the tradition of Trollope, Dickens, and Henry James.","brand":"Debolsillo","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53539356672342,"sku":"9788466342063-V","price":1.53,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9788466342063_1.jpg?v=1781696955","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/cheever-john-los-wapshot-the-wapshot-chronicle-ausgezeichnet-mit-dem-national-book-award-1958-contemporanea-9788466342063","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
