ENGLISH DESCRIPTION PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - NATIONAL BESTSELLER - From one of the most acclaimed writers of the twentieth century--a compulsively readable elegy for America's promises of prosperity, civic order, and domestic bliss, and "one of Roth's most powerful novels ever" (The New York Times). A Los Angeles Times Best Fiction Book of the Last 30 Years Here is Philip Roth's masterpiece, featuring Nathan Zuckerman and the story of Swede Levov, a legendary athlete at his Newark high school, who grows up in the booming postwar years to marry a former Miss New Jersey, inherit his father's glove factory, and move into a stone house in the idyllic hamlet of Old Rimrock. And then one day in 1968, Swede's beautiful American luck deserts him. For Swede's adored daughter, Merry, has grown from a loving, quick-witted girl into a sullen, fanatical teenager--a teenager capable of an outlandishly savage act of domestic terrorism. And overnight Swede is wrenched out of the longed-for American pastoral and into the indigenous American berserk. Compulsively readable, propelled by sorrow, rage, and a deep compassion for its characters, American Pastoral gives us Philip Roth at the height of his powers.

«Roths alternativ-verden-roman er enda mer relevant i Trumps tidsalder.» The Guardian, «Århundrets beste bøker» Året er 1940, og kjendispiloten Charles Lindbergh har akkurat vunnet presidentvalget i USA med slagordet «Amerika først». I den jødiske befolkningen sprer frykten seg. Ikke bare har Lindbergh gitt jødene skylden for at USA er i krig - han har også inngått en ikke-angrepspakt med Hitler, og ser frem mot et godt samarbeid med Nazi-Tyskland. Philip Roth er sju år gammel og bor med familien sin i Newark. I Konspirasjonen mot Amerika skildrer han en barndom fanget i et bekmørkt, kontrafaktisk USA, hvor familier splittes og gamle verdier står for fall. Hvem er egentlig president Lindbergh? Og hva vil han med Amerika? «Frykt preger disse minnene, en konstant frykt. Nå er vel ingen barndom uten redsel, men jeg lurer likevel på om jeg ville vært mindre redd som barn hvis Lindbergh ikke hadde blitt president eller hvis jeg ikke hadde vært sønn av jøder.»

ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURYPhilip Roth's bestselling alternate history--the chilling story of what happens to one family when America elects a charismatic, isolationist president.In an extraordinary feat of narrative invention, Philip Roth imagines an alternate history where Franklin D. Roosevelt loses the 1940 presidential election to heroic aviator and rabid isolationist Charles A. Lindbergh. Shortly thereafter, Lindbergh negotiates a cordial "understanding" with Adolf Hitler, while the new government embarks on a program of folksy anti-Semitism.For one boy growing up in Newark, Lindbergh's election is the first in a series of ruptures that threaten to destroy his small, safe corner of America-and with it, his mother, his father, and his older brother. "A terrific political novel . . . Sinister, vivid, dreamlike . . . creepily plausible. . . You turn the pages, astonished and frightened." -- The New York Times Book Review

The American psyche is channelled into the gripping story of one man. This is the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Philip Roth at his very best. It is 1998, the year America is plunged into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of a president. In a small New England town a distinguished professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues allege that he is a racist. The charge is unfounded, the persecution needless, but the truth about Silk would astonish even his most virulent accuser. Coleman Silk has a secret that he has kept for fifty years. This is the conclusion to Roth’s brilliant trilogy of post-war America – a story of seismic shifts in American history and a personal search for renewal and regeneration.'An extraordinary book - bursting with rage, humming with ideas, full of dazzling sleights of hand' Sunday Telegraph

The Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Philip Roth turns his gaze on 30s and 40s America in this magnificent successor to American Pastoral.Ira Ringold is an American roughneck who transforms himself from a ditch-digger in 1930s New Jersey, to a radio hotshot in the 1940s. In his heyday as a star – and as a bullying supporter of 'progressive' political causes – Ira marries Hollywood's leading lady, Eve Frame. Their glamorous honeymoon is short-lived, however, and it is the publication of Eve's scandalous bestselling exposé that identifies Ira as 'an American taking his orders from Moscow'. In this story of cruelty, betrayal, and revenge friends become deadly enemies, parents and children estranged, lovers blacklisted and the great felled from vertiginous heights.‘Knotted with energy, barely wasting a scene or word in its cracking velocity’ Mail on Sunday‘A passionate and coruscating American tragedy’ Financial Times

Informelle Ratgebernetzwerke strukturieren den Fluss des Wissens und beeinflussen damit das Gelingen von Innovationsversuchen grundlegend. Philip Roth analysiert die Entwicklung solcher Netzwerke. Neben Partnerselektionsentscheidungen haben sich besonders Gelegenheitsstrukturen als bedeutend erwiesen. Während Partnerselektionsentscheidungen mittlerweile differenziert erklärt werden können, ist es bisher nicht gelungen, die systematische Wirkung von Gelegenheiten empirisch herauszuarbeiten. Auf Grundlage innovativer konzeptioneller und methodischer Vorarbeit gelingt es dem Autor erstmals detaillierter zu erklären, wie Gelegenheitsstrukturen wirken. In der empirischen Analyse der Prozesse in drei Forschungs- und Entwicklungsabteilungen wird herausgearbeitet, unter welchen Voraussetzungen Begegnungen zu informellem fachlichem Austausch führen und gezeigt, dass die Voraussetzungen zwischen lokalen Kulturen variieren können.

Amerikka-trilogian päättävä satiiri identiteetistä, rodusta ja ikääntymisestä”Ihmisen tahra on ilkamoivan moniääninen ja samalla kirjailijan sydämellisin teos.” – Keski-PohjanmaaColeman Silk on tehnyt pitkän uran klassisten kielten professorina ja on yhä 71-vuotiaana onnellisesti naimisissa, kunnes varomaton tokaisu nostattaa syytökset rasismista. Hän joutuu eroamaan virastaan ja menettää pian vaimonsakin. Katkera Silk etsii lohtua puolta nuoremman, lukutaidottoman siivoojan sylistä, ja arvostelijat saavat lisää vettä myllyynsä. Puolivälissä kertomusta putoaa pommi, joka muuttaa ilman sakeaksi identiteettikysymyksistä.Philip Roth (1933–2018) kuului Yhdysvaltain kirjallisuuden tunnetuimpiin nimiin, jonka teokset ovat järjestään saapuneet kirjalliselle areenalle valtavan julkisen huomion, parhaimmillaan skandaalinkäryn saattelemina. Roth oli amerikkalaisen yhteiskunnan säälimätön tarkkailija ja tulkki.

Suuren amerikkalaisen kertojan kommunistivainojen aikaa luotaava armoton avainromaani”Rothia vakuuttavimmillaan ja lennokkaimmillaan.” – Kirkus ReviewsIra Ringold eli radiotähti Iron Rinn on nuoren Nathan Zuckermanin idoli ja esikuva, jonka elämään Zuckerman tutustuu tämän veljen muisteloiden myötä. Väkivaltaisilta kaduilta armeijan leipien kautta suosituksi radiojuontajaksi nousseen Iran kohtalo sinetöidään mccarthyismin ajan aatteiden puserruksessa. Rothin amerikkalaista unelmaa käsittelevän romaanisarjan toinen osa on yhtä musertavan rehellinen ja silti hauska kuin edeltäjänsä Amerikkalainen pastoraali ja seuraajansa Ihmisen tahra.Philip Roth (1933–2018) kuului Yhdysvaltain kirjallisuuden tunnetuimpiin nimiin, jonka teokset ovat järjestään saapuneet kirjalliselle areenalle valtavan julkisen huomion, parhaimmillaan skandaalinkäryn saattelemina.
