Ale czasem trzeba dać się jej ponieść. Emmett Watson właśnie wyszedł z poprawczaka. Wraca na rodzinną farmę w Nebrasce, gdzie czeka na niego młodszy brat, długi po ojcu i błękitny studebaker - jego jedyny majątek. Emmett ledwo skończył 18 lat, a już może liczyć tylko na siebie. Chce zabrać brata do słonecznej Kalifornii, gdzie zaczną wszystko od nowa. Może nawet uda im się odnaleźć matkę, która lata temu bez słowa wyjechała do San Francisco? Ale przewrotny los sprawia, że Emmett i Billy muszą wyruszyć w przeciwnym kierunku. Do Nowego Jorku - miasta, gdzie początek bierze legendarna autostrada Lincolna, pierwsza droga łącząca ze sobą dwa krańce Ameryki. Nowa, długo wyczekiwana powieść Amora Towlesa to zapierająca dech w piersiach odyseja przez Amerykę lat 50., gdzie spotykamy całą plejadę postaci znanych z amerykańskiej prozy najwyższej klasy: włóczęgów, bon vivantów, hochsztaplerów i wędrownych kaznodziejów. To także urzekająca historia o dorastaniu, o długach, które wcześniej czy później będziemy musieli spłacić, i o tym, jak łatwo jest zbłądzić, gdy w gorączce podróży zgubimy swój moralny kompas.\"--Back cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/amor-towles-books\"\u003eAmor Towles\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Znak Litera Nova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788324083695\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Znak Litera Nova","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £5.53","offer_id":47919754051761,"sku":"SB-8324083693-C2","price":5.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/8324083693.jpg?v=1789699965"},{"product_id":"a-gentleman-in-moscow","title":"A Gentleman in Moscow","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/amor-towles-books\"\u003eAmor Towles\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Man You Zhe Wen Hua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9864538799\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Man You Zhe Wen Hua","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £754.80","offer_id":47920160506033,"sku":"SB-9864538799-C3","price":754.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"table-for-two-the-instant-sunday-times-bestseller-1","title":"Table For Two: The instant Sunday Times bestseller","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE INSTANT \u003ci\u003eSUNDAY TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e BESTSELLER\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e FROM THE AUTHOR OF \u003ci\u003eA GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTHE LINCOLN HIGHWAY\u003c\/i\u003e AND \u003ci\u003eRULES OF CIVILITY\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'A knockout . . . \u003ci\u003eTable for Two\u003c\/i\u003e is a winner'\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'There is no better writer working today'\u003cbr\u003e CHRIS CLEAVE\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'He makes it all seem effortless'\u003cbr\u003e TANA FRENCH\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'A gem of a book that springs delights and surprises on every page'\u003cbr\u003e JEFFREY ARCHER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e'There is a great deal to relish in Table for Two . . .
