Demon Copperhead (Barbara Kingsolver)
Demon’s story begins with his traumatic birth to a single mother in a single-wide trailer, looking ‘like a little blue prizefighter.’ For the life ahead of him he would need all of that fighting spirit, along with buckets of charm, a quick wit, and some unexpected talents, legal and otherwise. In the southern Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, poverty and addiction aren’t ideas. They’re as natural as the grass grows. For Demon, born on the wrong side of luck, the affection and safety he craves is as remote as the ocean he dreams of seeing one day. The wonder is in how far he’s willing to travel to try and get there. Suffused with truth, anger and comp

Demon’s story begins with his traumatic birth to a single mother in a single-wide trailer, looking ‘like a little blue prizefighter.’ For the life ahead of him he would need all of that fighting spirit, along with buckets of charm, a quick wit, and some unexpected talents, legal and otherwise. In the southern Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, poverty and addiction aren’t ideas. They’re as natural as the grass grows. For Demon, born on the wrong side of luck, the affection and safety he craves is as remote as the ocean he dreams of seeing one day. The wonder is in how far he’s willing to travel to try and get there. Suffused with truth, anger and compassion, Demon Copperhead is an epic tale of love, loss and everything in between.
Демон Копперхед (Барбара Кингсолвер)
История Демона начинается с его травмирующего рождения у матери-одиночки в просторном трейлере, где он выглядел "как маленький профессиональный боец в голубых тонах’. Для предстоящей жизни ему понадобится весь этот бойцовский дух, а также обаяние, сообразительность и некоторые неожиданные таланты, как юридические, так и иные. В южных Аппалачских горах Вирджинии бедность и наркомания - это не просто слова. Они так же естественны, как растет трава. Для Демона, рожденного по ту сторону судьбы, привязанность и безопасность, которых он жаждет, так же далеки, как океан, который он мечтает однажды увидеть. Удивительно, как далеко он готов зайти, чтобы попытаться достичь этого. Наполненный правдой, гневом и состраданием, "Демон Копперхед" - это эпическая повесть о любви, потерях и обо всем, что между ними.
