In the hopeful 1950s, Frank and April Wheeler appear to be a model couple: bright, beautiful, talented, with two young children and a starter home in the suburbs. Perhaps they married too young and started a family too early. Maybe Frank's job is dull. And April never saw herself as a housewife. Yet they have always lived on the assumption that greatness is only just around the corner. But now that certainty is about to crumble.With heartbreaking compassion and remorseless clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage their spiritual birthright, betraying not only each other, but their best selves.From the Trade Paperback edition.

  • "Hinter der pastellfarbenen Fassade der amerikanischen Vorstadthäuser an der "Revolutionary Road" lebt das junge Ehepaar Wheeler genau das Leben, das es niemals gewollt hat: zwei Kinder, die einfältigen Nachbarn, Franks sinnentleerte Tätigkeit in einem Grossraumbüro. April, eine mässig begabte Schauspielerin, träumt von einem Dasein fernab der Gewöhnlichkeit - von einem Künstlerleben in Paris. Doch ohne es zu merken rutschen April und Frank und immer tiefer und tiefer in die Spiessbürgerlichkeit ab. Richard Yates wurde 1926 in Yonkers, New York, geboren und lebte bis zu seinem Tod 1992 in Alabama. Obwohl seine Werke zu Lebzeiten kaum Beachtung fanden, gehören sie heute zum Wichtigsten, was die amerikanische Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts zu bieten hat. Wie Ernest Hemingway prägte Richard Yates eine Generation von Schriftstellern. Die DVA publiziert Yates' Gesamtwerk auf Deutsch, zuletzt erschien der Roman 'Eine gute Schule'. Das Debüt 'Zeiten des Aufruhrs' wurde 2009 mit Leonardo DiCaprio und Kate Winslet in den Hauptrollen von Regisseur Sam Mendes verfilmt."
