WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE Philip Roth’s masterpiece provides a piercing look into the promises of prosperity, civic order and domesticity in twentieth century America ‘Swede’ Levov is living the American dream. He glides through life cocooned by his devoted family, his demanding yet highly rewarding (and lucrative) business, his sporting prowess, his good looks. He is the embodiment of thriving, post-war America, land of liberty and hope. Until the sunny day in 1968, when the Swede’s bountiful American luck deserts him. The tragedy springs from devastatingly close to home. His adored daughter, Merry, has become a stranger to him, a fanatical teenager capable of an outlandishly savage act of political terrorism that plunges the Levov family into the political mayhem of sixties America, and drags them into the underbelly of a seemingly ascendant society. Rendered powerless by the shocking turn of events, the Swede can only watch as his pastoral idyll is methodically torn apart. Extraordinarily nuanced and poignant, American Pastoral is the first in an eloquent trilogy of post-war American novels and cemented Roth’s reputation as one of the greatest American novelists of the twentieth century. ‘Full of insight, full of sharp ironic twists, full of wisdom about American idealism, and full of terrific fun... A profound and personal meditation on the changes in the American psyche over the last fifty years’ Financial Times

《美国牧歌》 It is an elegy for all our century's promises of prosperity, civic order, and domestic bliss. 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. “美国三部曲”之首的《美国牧歌》，体现了美国社会中由来已久的冲突：相信“美国梦”的人，以为只要努力和正派，就可美梦成真；然而历史的悲剧性常常和个人是否努力和正派无关。

Philip Roth aborda frequentemente a necessidade humana de demolir, desafiar, opor, separar. Neste livro, contudo, foca-se no oposto: a necessidade de viver uma vida calma e normal. Seymour «Sueco» Levov, um lendário atleta universitário, devotado homem de família, trabalhador esforçado e próspero herdeiro, envelhece na triunfante América do pós-guerra, vendo esfumar-se tudo o que ama quando o país começa a efervescer nos turbulentos anos 60. Nem o mais tranquilo e bem-intencionado cidadão consegue escapar à vassourada da história, nem o Sueco pode permanecer para sempre na felicidade da amada e velha quinta em que vive com a sua bela mulher e a filha, que se torna uma revolucionária terrorista apostada em destruir o paraíso de seu pai. A inocência do Sueco Levov é varrida pelos tempos - como tudo o que foi criado pela sua família, através de gerações, deitado por terra na violenta explosão de uma bomba no seu bucólico quintal. Philip Roth ganhou o Prémio Pulitzer com Pastoral Americana em 1997. Em 1998 recebeu a Medalha Nacional de Artes da Casa Branca e, em 2002, o mais alto galardão da Academia Americana de Artes e Letras, a Medalha de Ouro da Ficção, anteriormente atribuída a John dos Passos, William Faulkner e Saul Bellow, entre outros. Ganhou três vezes o PEN/Faulkner Award e o National Book Critics Award. Em 2005 A Conspiração contra a América recebeu o prémio da Sociedade de historiadores Americanos pelo «excecional romance histórico sobre um tema americano, relativo a 2003-2004». Roth recebeu dois dos mais prestigiados prémios do PEN: em 2006, o PEN/Nabokov «pelo conjunto da obra [...] de originalidade constante e artisticamente perfeita» e, em 2007, o PEN/Saul Bellow de Consagração na Ficção Americana, dado ao escritor cujo apuro ao longo de uma carreira sustentada o coloca ao mais alto nível da literatura americana. Roth é o único escritor americano vivo a ter a obra publicada numa edição completa e definitiva pela Library of America. Em 2011 Roth recebeu o Man Booker International Prize. Foi o quarto autor a receber esta distinção.

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of American Pastoral—a richly imagined novel featuring America’s only homeless big-league baseball team in history delivers “shameless comic extravagance…. Roth gleefully exploits our readiness to let baseball stand for America itself" (The New York Times). Gil Gamesh, the only pitcher who ever literally tried to kill the umpire. The ex-con first baseman, John Baal, "The Babe Ruth of the Big House," who never hit a home run sober. If you've never heard of them—or of the homeless baseball team the Ruppert Mundys—it's because of the Communist plot, and the capitalist scandal, that expunged the entire Patriot League from baseball memory. In this ribald, wickedly satiric novel, Roth turns baseball's status as national pastime and myth into an occasion for unfettered picaresque farce, replete with heroism and perfidy, ebullient wordplay and a cast of characters that includes the House Un-American Activities Committee.
