The pregnant widow : inside story

The year is 1970, and it's a long, hot summer. In a castle on a mountainside in Italy, half a dozen young lives are afloat on a sea of change, trapped inside the history of the sexual revolution. The girls are acting like boys, the boys are going on acting like boys, and Keith Nearing - twenty years old, a literature student all clogged up with the English novel - is struggling to twist feminism and women's ascendency toward his own ends. As revolutions go, this one might have been nonviolent, but it wasn't bloodless - and now, in the twenty-first century, the events of 1970 and their repercussions are finally catching up with Keith Nearing.

  • "The year is 1970, and the youth of Europe are in the chaotic, ecstatic throes of the sexual revolution. Dedicated to the cause, its nubile foot soldiers have yet to realize this disturbing truth: between the death of one social order and the birth of another, there exists a state of terrifying purgatory - or, a "pregnant widow." Spending college vacation with his peers in a castle in Italy, Keith Nearing will find the tragicomedy that ensues will change his life forever. (Bestseller)"

  • "The 1960s, saw the launch of sexual revolution, which radically affected the lives of every Westerner fortunate enough to be born after the Second World War. But a revolution is a revolution, contingent and sanguinary."

  • ""Puede que Keith Nearing esté pasando el verano de su vida. Ese verano fulgurante que todos guardamos en la memoria y que nos cambió para siempre. Tiene veinte años, y su novia Lily, tras tres meses de libertad para experimentar con otras costumbres y otros cuerpos, ha vuelto con él para que pasen juntos las vacaciones en un castillo en Italia. Porque es el año 1970, ya en plena revolución sexual, aunque no mucho tiempo después de que en Inglaterra--entre la supresión de la censura a El amante de Lady Chatterley y la aparición del primer LP de los Beatles--se empezara a follar En el castillo, un grupo de jóvenes nadan a favor y en contra de las revueltas aguas del cambio. Las chicas se comportan como chicos, los chicos siguen siendo chicos, y la revolución sexual trae consigo la revolución feminista. Y en estas revoluciones, que no serán incruentas, Keith tiene varios frentes abiertos: seducir a Scheherazade, la hermosa amiga de su novia, que ese verano ha desplegado sus pechos y sus alas como un cisne, escalar y conquistar el canon de la literatura británica, y construirse a sí mismo, una imperiosa necesidad a los veinte años."--P. [4] of cover."
  • "The year is 1970, and Keith Nearing, a twenty-year-old literature student, is spending his summer vaction in a castle on a mountainside in Italy. The Sexual Revolution is in full-swing - a historical moment of unprecedented opportunity - and Keith and his friends are immediately caught up in its chaotic, ecstatic throes. Yet they soon discover a disturbing truth, there exists a state of liminal purgatory, once described by the Russian thinker Alexander Herzen as "a pregnant widow." As Amis deftly explores the repercussions and consequences of that one summer, he presents us with a precise and poignant portrait of the liberating possibilities, and the haunting consequences, of change."@en
