Книга: Irving, John «A Prayer For Owen Meany»
|
Производитель: "Неизвестный" Eleven-year-old Owen Meany, playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire, hits a foul ball and kills his best friend`s mother. Owen doesn`t believe in accidents; he believes he is God`s instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is both extraordinary and terrifying. At moments a comic, self-deluded victim, but in the end the principal, tragic actor in a divine plan, Owen Meany is the most heartbreaking hero John Irving has yet created.
