В 1940 году президентом США вместо Рузвельта становится герой авиации Чарльз Линдберг. Придя к власти, он обвиняет евреев в том, что они подталкивают страну к войне с Германией; его задача как нового президента – достичь взаимопонимания с нацистами. Риббентропа принимают в Белом доме, по всем штатам звучат поддерживаемые правительством призывы поставить «чужаков» на место, и для евреев Америки наступают нелегкие времена. Страх охватывает еврейские семьи, в том числе и семейство Ротов. Исторические декорации романа классика американской литературы XX века Филипа Рота – альтернативная история времен Второй мировой войны, один из…

Замечательный писатель Филип Рот, при жизни признанный классиком американской литературы, знаком российскому читателю прежде всего как автор скандального романа "Случай Портного". А между тем в Америке его именем названа площадь в его родном городе. Новый роман Рота "Заговор против Америки" - история небольшого городка на Восточном побережье времен Второй мировой войны.

In an astonishing feat of narrative invention, our most ambitious novelist imagines an alternate version of American history. In 1940 Charles A. Lindbergh, heroic aviator and rabid isolationist, is elected President. Shortly thereafter, he negotiates a cordial "understanding" with Adolf Hitler, while the new government embarks on a program of folksy anti-Semitism. For one boy growing up in Newark, Lindbergh's election is the first in a series of ruptures that threatens to destroy his small, safe corner of America—and with it, his mother, his father, and his older brother.

When the renowned aviation hero and rabid isolationist Charles A. Lindbergh defeated Franklin Roosevelt by a landslide inthe1940 presidential election, fear invaded every Jewish household in America. Not only had Lindbergh publicly blamed the Jews for pushing America towards a pointless war with Nazi Germany, but, upon taking office as the 33rd president of the United States, he negotiated a cordial 'understanding' with Adolf Hitler. What then followed in America is the historical setting for this startling new novel by Pulitzer-prize winner Philip Roth, who recounts what it was like for his Newark family during the menacing years of the…

When the renowned aviation hero and rabid isolationist Charles A. Lindbergh defeated Franklin Roosevelt by a landslide in the 1940 presidential election, fear invaded every Jewish household in America. Not only had Lindbergh, in a nationwide radio address, publicly blamed the Jews for selfishly pushing America towards a pointless war with Nazi Germany, but, upon taking office as the 33rd president of the United States, he negotiated a cordial 'understanding' with Adolf Hitler, whose conquest of Europe and whose virulent anti-Semitic policies he appeared to accept without difficulty. What then followed in America is the historical setting…

When celebrity aviator, Charles A. Lindbergh, wins the 1940 presidential election on the slogan of America First, fear invades every Jewish household.
