About this product

Product Information

When we first met him in Rabbit, Run (1960), the book that established John Updike as a major novelist, Harry (Rabbit) Angstrom is playing basketball with some boys in an alley in Pennsylvania during the tail end of the Eisenhower era, reliving for a moment his past as a star high school athlete. Athleticism of a different sort is on display throughout these four magnificent novels--the athleticism of an imagination possessed of the ability to lay bare, with a seemingly effortless animal grace, the enchantments and disenchantments of life. Updike revisited his hero toward the end of each of the following decades in the second half of this American century; and in each of the subsequent novels, as Rabbit, his wife, Janice, his son, Nelson, and the people around them grow, these characters take on the lineaments of our common existence. In prose that is one of the glories of contemporary literature, Updike has chronicled the frustrations and ambiguous triumphs, the longuers, the loves and frenzies, the betrayals and reconciliations of our era. He has given us our representative American story. This Rabbit Angstrom volume is composed of the following novels: Rabbit, Run ; Rabbit Redux ; Rabbit is Rich ; and Rabbit at Rest .

Reviews
FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR written especially for this edition: "The character of Harry 'Rabbit' Angstrom was for me a way in-a ticket to the America all around me â€¦ [These four related novels] became a kind of running report on the state of my hero and his nation . . . A some point between the second and third of the series, I began to visualize four completed novels that might together make a single coherent volume, a mega-novel. Now, thanks to Everyman's Library, this volume exists, titled, as I had long hoped, with the name of the protagonist, an everyman who, like all men, was unique and mortal." "Taken together, this quartet of novels has given its readers a wonderfully vivid portrait of one Harry (Rabbit) Angstrom . . . The books have also created a Kodachrome-sharp picture of American life . . . from the somnolent 50s . . . into the uncertainties of the 80s." -THE NEW YORK TIMES "The being that most illuminates the Rabbit quartet is not finally Harry Angstrom himself but the world through which he moves in his slow downward slide, meticulously recorded by one of the most gifted American realists . . . The Rabbit novels, for all their grittiness, constitute John Updike's surpassingly eloquent valentine to his country." -Joyce Carol Oates, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

Do not buy this edition buy 4 hardbacks cheaper better!
The stories are Pulitzer Prize winners BUT. This book is awful in design and is made to fall apart if you try to read it. The workmanship is lousy because of the design, a paperback would have been better workmanship. It should have been made with larger paper size to cut down on the number of pages. The prices being ask are way way to high, you could buy the 4 hardbacks cheaper. Paperback would be even cheaper. The only copies to buy would be signed copies that you would not read but collect, add Licks of Love for the whole Rabbit Series. Yeah I bought at lease one unsigned copy and signed copy.
