"Seymour 'Swede' Levov---a legendary high school athlete, a devoted family man, a hard worker, the prosperous inheritor of his father's Newark glove factory---comes of age in thriving, triumphant postwar America. But everything he loves is lost when the country begins to run amok in the turbulent 1960s. Not even the most private, well-intentioned citizen, it seems, gets to sidestep the sweep of history. AMERICAN PASTORAL is the story of a fortunate American's rise and fall---of a strong, confident master of social equilibrium overwhelmed by the forces of social disorder." Bright & attractive copy, quite presentable & collectible.

Description: First signed limited edition of the authorâs Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Octavo, original publisher's full leather elaborately stamped in gilt, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt, ribbon bound in, illustrated. Signed by Philip Roth on the limitation page. In fine condition. Philip Roth's 22nd book takes a life-long view of the American experience in this thoughtful investigation of the century's most divisive and explosive of decades, the '60s. Returning again to the voice of his literary alter ego Nathan Zuckerman, Roth is at the top of his form. His prose is carefully controlled yet always fresh and intellectually subtle as he reconstructs the halcyon days, circa World War II, of Seymour "the Swede" Levov, a high school sports hero and all-around Great Guy who wants nothing more than to live in tranquility. But as the Swede grows older and America crazier, history sweeps his family inexorably into its grip: His own daughter, Merry, commits an unpardonable act of "protest" against the Vietnam war that ultimately severs the Swede from any hope of happiness, family, or spiritual coherence. It was included in Time's All-TIME 100 Greatest Novels. "One of Roth's most powerful novels ever.moving, generous and ambitious.a fiercely affecting work of artâ (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times). It was the basis for the 2016 film directed by Ewan McGregor and written by John Romano, starring McGregor, Jennifer Connelly and Dakota Fanning.
