  • "It is an April day in the year 2000 and an era is about to end. The booming times of market optimism?when the culture boiled with money and corporations seemed more vital and influential than governments? are poised to crash. Eric Packer, a billionaire asset manager at age twenty-eight, emerges from his penthouse triplex and settles into his lavishly customized white stretch limousine. Today he is a man with two missions: to pursue a cataclysmic bet against the yen and to get a haircut across town. Stalled in traffic by a presidential motorcade, a music idol?s funeral and a violent political demonstration, Eric receives a string of visitors?experts on security, technology, currency, finance and a few sexual partners?as the limo sputters toward an increasingly uncertain future. -- Don DeLillo's thirteenth novel, is both intimate and global, a vivid and moving account of the spectacular downfall of one man, and of an era."@en
  • "New York, avril 2000. Bloqué dans sa somptueuse limousine par un embouteillage géant qui paralyse Manhattan, Eric Packer, golden boy de vingt-huit ans, assiste au crépuscule du système qui a porté sa compagnie au firmament de la galaxie Wall Street. Les yeux rivés sur les cours d'une monnaie dont il a parié la chute et qui remonte contre toute attente, tétanisé par l'irruption dans son monde virtuel d'un réel ensauvagé qui embrase les rues de la ville, Packer accède, en vingt-quatre heures d'une initiation spectaculaire, aux codes qui détiennent le secret de son assassinat annoncé (4eme de couv.)."

  • "Die Geschichte eines Tages im Leben des Finanzjongleurs Eric Packer als Allegorie auf die zerstörerische Kraft des Kapitalismus. New York an einem Tag im April 2000. Eric Packer, erfolgreicher und steinreicher Vermögensverwalter, fährt in seiner Stretchlimosine durch die Stadt. Er hat, wie meistens, nicht geschlafen, das Leben langweilt ihn. Auf der Fahrt durch Manhattan steckt er ständig im Stau: der Präsident ist in der Stadt, der Beerdigungszug eines Rappers verstopft die Straßen, Globalisierungskämpfer liefern sich Straßenschlachten mit der Polizei. Weltweit geraten die Finanzmärkte ins Trudeln. Auch Eric Packers Leben gerät aus der Bahn..."

  • "Eric Packer, 28-letni newyorški multimilijonar, si nekega dne v aprilu zada navidez preprosto nalogo: obiskati frizerja na drugem koncu Manhattna. Potovanje v razkošni, neprebojni, visoko tehnološko opremljeni beli limuzini se izkaže za nič manj kot futuristično odisejado. Packerju pot prestrezajo prometni zamaški zaradi obiska predsednika ZDA, antikapitalistični protest in pogrebna povorka za sufijskim reperjem... Nepozabna vožnja v režiji Dona DeLilla."@sl
