Book

Zákonodárce (2014)

Jak říká sám Wouk, Zákonodárce je lehkovážný román o tom, jak je nemožné napsat román o Mojžíšovi, a myslím, že nikdo by to nevystihl lépe. Nejsem zrovna fanouškem epistolárních příběhů, většinou mě zklamaly (pokud nepočítám Werthera, samozřejmě :)), ale tady to tak nějak funguje. Stránky jsou pl...

Book

Marjorie Morningstar (1992)

I remember one summer day when I was a young teen, a movie by this name came on afternoon TV. My mother, passing through the family room, hurriedly turned it off and forbade me to watch it. In her eyes, it was too advanced in concept (translation: sex) for a girl my age. She didn't know, of cours...

The Winds of War (2002)

“ Peace, if it ever exists, will not be based on fear of war, but on the love of peace. It will not be the abstaining from an act, but the coming of a state of mind. In this sense the most insignificant writer can serve peace, where the most powerful tribunals can do nothing.” --Herman WoukThe ...

City Boy (1992)

Lots and lots of thanks to El for mentioning City Boy in her review of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. How did I go through all of my life without ever hearing of this book? This is my favorite kind of book! I mean, I've read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn several times. I can see why one book re...

Book

The Hope (2002)

The Hope is an historical drama, painted in fairly broad brush-strokes, charting the days immediately following Ben Gurion's proclamation of the Jewish state of Israel in 1948 after the British withdrawal and continuing up to the astonishing military successes of the Six Day War. Gurion is himsel...

Don't Stop the Carnival (1992)

I often daydream about running away from home. Packing it in and slipping away to some Red-and-Andy-Dufresne tropical island and starting anew. I could do it! I could just GO. I could get one of those ‘island’ jobs (hotel manager, coconut picker, hippie bead necklace maker). I don’t need to be le...

Book

Aurora Dawn (1992)

The publication of 'Aurora Dawn' in 1947 immediately established Herman Wouk as a novelist of exceptional literary and historical significance. Today, Aurora Dawn's themes have grown still more relevant and, in the manner of all great fiction, its characters and ironies have only been sharpened b...

Book

Winds of War

Few Americans followed the debate more keenly than Pug Henry. In the visitor’s gallery of the Senate, hand cupped to his ear because of the bad acoustics, he absorbed a new knowledge of how his own government worked. More and more he admired Franklin Roosevelt’s ability to drive this balky team. ...

The Caine Mutiny

As the captain was maneuvering the nose of the ship into the center of the anchoring berth, Willie, yawning on the starboard wing, felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned. Keefer, pointing off to the right, said, “Willie dear, look yonder and tell me it’s a hallucination.”A thousand yards away an L...
