'A tragedy of classical proportions...a magnificent novel' The Times

Discover the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that affirmed Philip Roth as one of the greatest American authors.

'Swede' Levov is living the American dream. Settled into his life, surrounded by his devoted family, his lucrative business, his athletic abilities, and his good looks. He is the personification of post-war America's prosperity, the land of freedom and hope. Until one sunny day in 1968, when Swede's daughter, Merry, commits an extremely violent act of political terrorism and the Levov family is plunged into chaos.

Extremely detailed and moving, American Pastoral is the first in an eloquent trilogy of post-war American novels that still resonate today.
