American Pastoral is one of Philip Roth’s most powerful novels.  It is an elegy for the American century's promises of prosperity, civic order, and domestic bliss; yet it retains a universal resonance.  It is a richly textured moving, generous, book, boasting a deep compassion for its characters.  Philip Roth won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1997 for American Pastoral.



Pastorale américaine est considérée comme l'un des chefs-d’oeuvres de Philippe Roth.  Ce roman énorme est une élégie au 'siècle américain,' à ses rêves de prospérité, du 'bon citoyen' et du bonheur au foyer ; pourtant le thématique va bien au-delà de la seule Amérique et résonne de manière universelle par la complexité de ses émotions, sa générosité humaine et la sympathie avec lequel Roth traite ses personnages.  L'oeuvre a été récompensée par le prix Pulitzer en 1997.



You may read the book in your language of choice. Discussions are in both French and English.


Caroline Cuozzi will be leading the discussion.
