Forrest Gump = Foresuto Ganpu

"'Bein a idiot is no box of chocolates, ' but 'at least I ain't led no hum-drum life, ' says Forrest Gump, the lovable, surprisingly savvy hero of this wonderful comic novel. When the University of Alabama's football team drafts Forrest and makes him a star, that's only the beginning! He flunks out--and goes on to be a Vietnam war hero, a world-class ping-pong player, a wrestler, and a business tycoon. He compares battle scars with Lyndon Johnson, discovers the truth about Richard Nixon, and suffers the ups and downs of true love. Now, Forrest Gump is telling all--in a madcap screball romp through three decades of the American landscape. It's Gump's amazing travels ... and you've got to read them to believe them."--Publisher's note.
