Джей Ди Вэнс — новинки

Это история мальчишки, который родился в бедной семье неблагополучного района горных Аппалачей и который, несмотря на свое происхождение, сумел стать успешным юристом Силиконовой долины. Но это не история успеха, не рассказ об американской мечте. Это семейная сага, полная личных переживаний, история взросления и покорения своего внутреннего страха и комплексов, история любви и ненависти, борьбы и духовного поиска. Она о том, что все в жизни зависит от самого тебя и свою судьбу можно изменить, о том, что такое семья и общество и как они формируют сознание. Это совсем другая Америка и другой взгляд на общество и его проблемы. Именно поэтому книга вызвала столько споров и дискуссий, а Билл Гейтс назвал ее главной книгой о современной Америке. Она глубоко исследует социальные проблемы и дает возможность понять победу Трампа на президентских выборах.

Вэнс с пронзительной искренностью рассказывает о жизни провинциальной семьи американских белых рабочих (хиллбилли), живущих в районе Ржавого (Фабричного) пояса. Герою удается выбраться из пропасти и начать новую жизнь. Но призраки прошлого до сих пор напоминают о себе.

Где искать выход, когда вся твоя жизнь давно предопределена? Поддержка близких, примеры успеха и хорошее образование помогли герою навсегда выбраться из нищеты. Однако демоны прошлого до сих пор вмешиваются в его настоящее.

«Більш важливої книжки про сучасну Америку за нинішніх часів ви не прочитаєте» – думка американського часопису The Economist. «Гілбільська елегія» Джей Ді Венса – це пристрасний, особистісний, упереджений аналіз кризових явищ сучасної Америки, зроблений на прикладі цікавого й суперечливого прошарку американського суспільства, так званих гілбілі. Автор нерозривно пов’язаний з цими людьми як через власне походження, так і завдяки своєму світосприйняттю. З щирістю і чесністю, а також із неабияким почуттям гумору Венс розповідає сімейну історію, що почалася з надії на світле майбутнє післявоєнної Америки, а вилилася в опис соціального, регіонального та класового занепаду, тривожну розповідь про втрату американської мрії для великого сегмента громадян цієї країни.

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans. The disintegration of this group, a process that has been slowly occurring now for more than forty years, has been reported with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.’s grandparents were “dirt poor and in love,” and moved north from Kentucky’s Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually one of their grandchildren would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that J.D.'s grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, never fully escaping the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. With piercing honesty, Vance shows how he himself still carries around the demons of his chaotic family history.

A deeply moving memoir, with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.

From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a powerful account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America’s white working class
