      Amor Towles
      The Lincoln Highway

      2021 | Nakladatelství Bohemian Ventures, spol. s r.o.

      From the author of the worldwide bestseller and 'book of the decade', A Gentleman in Moscow Emmett returns home to pick-up his little brother Billy, tie-up his late father's estate and get out of town for good. Since leaving the Kansas youth facility where he's served time, Emmett has wanted one thing: to give them bo…th a fresh start - and that means heading out to the sparkling west. Young, precocious Billy has plans of his own - to get to San Francisco, where he believes their long-estranged mother is waiting for them. However, as soon as they've loaded Emmett's bright blue Studebaker with their few belongings, trouble arrives and brings its sidekick in the form of Duchess and Woolly, two runaways from the very facility Emmett just left behind him. Insatiable Duchess and his devoted, but slow companion Woolly soon wreck Billy's plan to get onto the open road, one well-intentioned blunder at a time. Each young man sees this journey as his chance to pursue his dreams, settle scores and find riches. And a simple journey quickly becomes a dazzling odyssey filled with obstacles, villains and ruses fit only for heroes to overcome. Bursting with life, charm and unforgettable characters, The Lincoln Highway is an extraordinary journey through 1950s America from a master storyteller.

      O autorovi

      Amor Towles

      Amor Towles

      Amor Towles je oceňovaný sou­časný americký spisovatel. Narodil se a vyrostl v Bos­tonu. Absolvoval Yale College a získal magisterský titul z angličtiny na Stanford University. Když mu bylo 10 let, hodil do Atlantiku láhev se vzkazem. Za několik týdnů dostal dopis od Harrisona Salisburyho, pozdějšího ředitele periodika The New York Times. Mnoho let si pak dopisovali. Po absolutoriu na Yale měl dva roky vyučovat v Číně, což bylo ale zrušeno po masakru na Náměstí nebeského klidu v roce 1989. Přes 20 let působil na vysoké manažerské pozici v investiční firmě na Wall Street. Nečekaný úspěch románu Pravidla zdvořilosti mu však umožnil ten luxus toto zaměstnání opustit a věnovat se pouze psaní. S manželkou, synem a dcerou žije na Manhatanu v New Yorku. Na svém kontě má zatím dva romány, které vyvolaly ve světě ohromný čte­nářský ohlas a sklidily mnoho pozitivních recenzí. Je sběratelem umění a starožitností.
