In America : a Novel / Susan Sontag. - London : Penguin Books, 2009. - 387 stron ; 20 cm.
(Penguin Modern Classics)
In 1876 a group of Poles led by Maryna Zalewska, Poland's greatest actress, travel to California to found a "utopian" commune.
Maryna, who has renounced her career, is accompanied by her small son and husband; in her entourage is a rising young writer who is in love with her.
The commune fails and most of the migrants go home, but Maryna stays and triumphs on the American stage.
"In America" is a big, juicy, surprising book - about a woman's search for self-transformation, about the fate of idealism, about the world of the theater-that will captivate its readers from the first page.
