From the publisher
'A tragedy of classical proportions...a magnificent novel' The Times
Discover the Pulitzer-prize winning novel that confirmed Philip Roth as one of the greatest American writers.
'Swede' Levov is living the American dream.
He glides through life cocooned by his devoted family, lucrative business, sporting prowess and good looks. He is the embodiment of thriving, post-war America, land of liberty and hope.
Until one sunny day in 1968, when Swede's daughter, Merry, commits an outlandishly savage act of political terrorism and the Levov family is plunged into mayhem. Extraordinarily nuanced and poignant, American Pastoral is the first in an eloquent trilogy of post-war American novels that still resonates today.
