‘Intelligent, compellingly readable, funny and above all generous spirited, it is a rare thing, a modern novel with both head and heart’ Daily Mail
‘Funny and deeply sad, large-hearted and merciless, The Corrections is a testament to the range and depth of pleasures great fiction affords' David Foster Wallace
After fifty years as a wife and mother, Enid Lambert is ready to have some fun. Unfortunately her husband, Alfred, is losing his sanity, and their children have long since fled for the catastrophes of their own lives. As Alfred’s condition worsens and the Lamberts are forced to face their secrets and failures, Enid sets her heart on one last family Christmas.
Bringing the old world of civic virtue and sexual inhibition into violent collision with the era of hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental healthcare and globalised greed, ‘The Corrections’ confirms Jonathan Franzen as one of the most brilliant interpreters of the American soul.

Recensione:
L'autore:
‘A book which is funny, moving, generous, brutal and intelligent, and which poses the ultimate question: what is life for? And that is as much as anyone could ask' Guardian
‘Jonathan Franzen has built a powerful novel out of the swarming consciousness of a marriage, a family, a whole culture’ Don DeLillo
'Impossible to dislike, an unpretentious page-turner' Zadie Smith
'Compelling. A pleasure from beginning to end. Franzen, in one leap, has put himself into the league of Updike and Roth.' Evening Standard
‘A novel of outstanding sympathy, wit, moral intelligence and pathos, a family saga told with stylistic brio and psychological and political insight. No British novelist is currently writing at this pitch’ Financial Times
Jonathan Franzen is the author of four other novels, including The Corrections, Freedom and Purity, and five works of nonfiction and translation, including Farther Away and The Kraus Project. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the German Akademie der Künste, and the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Nach fast fünfzig Jahren als Ehefrau und Mutter ist Enid Lambert entschlossen, ihr Leben ein wenig zu genießen. Alles könnte so angenehm sein, gemütlich, harmonisch - einfach schön. Doch die Parkinsonsche Krankheit hat ihren Mann Alfred immer fester im Griff, und die drei Kinder haben das traute Familienheim längst verlassen - um ihre eigenen tragikomischen Malaisen zu durchleben. Der älteste, Gary, stellvertretender Direktor einer Bank und Familienvater, steckt in einer Ehekrise und versucht mit aller Macht, seine Depressionen kleinzureden. Der mittlere, Chip, steht am Anfang einer vielversprechenden Karriere als Literaturprofessor, aber Liebestollheit wirft ihn aus der Bahn, und er findet sich in Litauen wieder als verlängerter Arm eines Internet-Betrügers. Und das jüngste der Lambert-Kinder, die erfolgreiche Meisterköchin Denise, sinkt ins Bett eines verheirateten Mannes und setzt so, in den Augen der Mutter zumindest, Jugend und Zukunft aufs Spiel. In dem Wunsch, es sich endlich einmal so richtig gutgehen zu lassen - und Alfred aus seinem blauen Sessel zu locken, in dem er immer schläft -, verfolgt Enid nun ein hochgestecktes Ziel: Bald nach der Luxus-Kreuzfahrt, zu der sie voller Vorfreude mit Alfred aufbricht, möchte sie die ganze Familie zu einem letzten Weihnachtsfest zu Hause um sich scharen.
