"The most profound and accomplished American novel since the end of World War II." —The New Republic

“A screaming comes across the sky. . .” A few months after the Germans’ secret V-2 rocket bombs begin falling on London, British Intelligence discovers that a map of the city pinpointing the sexual conquests of one Lieutenant Tyrone Slothrop, U.S. Army, corresponds identically to a map showing the V-2 impact sites. The implications of this discovery will launch Slothrop on an amazing journey across war-torn Europe, fleeing an international cabal of military-industrial superpowers, in search of the mysterious Rocket 00000.

Gravity's Rainbow is a postmodern epic, a work as exhaustively significant to the second half of the twentieth century as Joyce's Ulysses was to the first. Its sprawling, encyclopedic narrative and penetrating analysis of the impact of technology on society make it an intellectual tour de force.

This Penguin Classics deluxe edition features a specially designed cover by Frank Miller along with french claps and deckle-edged paper.

Wer durchhält wird belohnt

Die Enten der Parabel ist wohl eines der kompliziertesten Bücher, die ich bis jetzt lesen durfte. Bei über 400 Charakteren kann man schon mal leicht den Überblick verlieren. Wer jedoch bis zum Ende durchhält und wortwörtlich zwischen den Zeilen liest, fängt an zu verstehen und wird mit lauter tollen Plottwists belohnt. Eine so ungewöhnliche Handlung verdient auch eine außergewöhnliche Aufmerksamkeit.

But there are nosepick noodles to be served up buttery and steaming, grime gruel and pustule porridge to be ladled into bowls of a snivelling generation of future executives, pubic popovers to be wheeled out onto terraces stained by holocaust sky or growing rigid with autumn.
