The Ballad of the Sad Café

Více o knize

Carson McCullers' extraordinary American Gothic tale of love and betrayal in the deep South tells the story of Miss Amelia, a very unconventional woman. A six-foot-two giantess, strong and self-reliant, she married Marvin Macy, the meanest and most handsome man in town, and then threw him out after ten days. Now she runs the local store alone, until Cousin Lymon, a strutting, hunchbacked dwarf, comes to town, steals her heart and transforms the store into a buzzing café. But when her rejected husband returns, a bizarre love triangle ensues and the battle of the sexes begins.
