Jean Webster Knihy

starší překlad humoristické již zfilmované knihy

Originální anotace z přebalu: Po letech se touto cestou objevuje na knižním trhu trhák let třicátých, úspěšně zfilmovaný (Garry Cooper v hlavní roli). Nejspíš se bude líbit i dnes. Není to podbízivá literatury, je zábavná, má i sociální šlehy v mezích mírného pokroku, a především vtihnou, veselou hrdinku, schopnou i sebeironie, což mezi ními děvčaty nebývá vždycky zvykem. Možná že nad happy endem se shovívavě pousmějeme, ale základní ideu knihy přijmeme s chutí: je velké štěstí, když se navzájem najdou dva lidé, kteří mají stejný smysl pro humor.
