Una satira tagliente e fresca per il mondo moderno spietato - per i fan di Dave Eggers, Ben Lerner e Gary Shtenygart'Mohsin Hamid č uno dei migliori scrittori del mondo, punto. Solo un maestro avrebbe potuto scrivere questo racconto propulsivo di un lottatore che vive sul filo del rasoio, una storia noir di Horatio Alger per i nostri tempi frenetici e violenti' Ben FountainQuesto libro č un libro di auto-aiuto. Il suo obiettivo, come dice la copertina, č mostrarti come diventare ricco sfondato nell'Asia emergente. E per farlo deve trovarti, rannicchiato, tremante, sulla terra battuta sotto la culla di tua madre in una fredda e rugiadosa mattina. La tua angoscia č l'angoscia di un bambino a cui hanno buttato via il cioccolato, i cui telecomandi sono senza batteria, il cui scooter č rotto, le cui nuove scarpe da ginnastica sono state rubate. Ciō č ancora pių notevole perché non hai mai visto niente di tutto questo in vita tua. "Ancora pių intrigante, avvincente e commovente di The Reluctant Fundamentalist. Un libro meraviglioso" Philip Pullman "Strutturato in modo brillante, profondamente sentito [e] scritto con la sicurezza e la bravura di un uomo nato per scrivere. Hamid č qui all'apice dei suoi notevoli poteri e offre un libro dal ritmo serrato e preternaturalmente saggio su un lottatore profondamente simpatico e profondamente tormentato nel pių disordinato e caotico anello dell'economia globale. Completamente indimenticabile" Dave Eggers, autore di The Circle.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A sharp, fresh satire for the ruthless modern world - for fans of Dave Eggers, Ben Lerner and Gary Shtenygart 'Mohsin Hamid is one of the best writers in the world, period. Only a master could have written this propulsive tale of a striver living on the knife's edge, a noir Horatio Alger story for our frenetic, violent times' Ben Fountain This book is a self-help book. Its objective, as it says on the cover, is to show you how to get filthy rich in rising Asia. And to do that it has to find you, huddled, shivering, on the packed earth under your mother's cot one cold, dewy morning. Your anguish is the anguish of a boy whose chocolate has been thrown away, whose remote controls are out of batteries, whose scooter is busted, whose new sneakers have been stolen. This is all the more remarkable since you've never in your life seen any of these things . . . 'Even more intriguing, compelling and moving than The Reluctant Fundamentalist. A marvellous book' Philip Pullman 'Brilliantly structured, deeply felt [and] written with the confidence and bravura of a man born to write. Hamid is at the peak of his considerable powers here, and delivers a tightly paced, preternaturally wise book about a thoroughly likable, thoroughly troubled striver in the messiest, most chaotic ring of global economy. Completely unforgettable' Dave Eggers, author of The Circle. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR005554901
