"The first and second novels in John Updike's acclaimed quartet of Rabbit books-now in one marvelous volume. <BR>RABBIT, RUN <BR>"Brilliant and poignant . . . By his compassion, clarity of insight, and crystal-bright prose, [Updike] makes Rabbit's sorrow his and out own."<BR>-"The Washington Post <BR>"Precise, graceful, stunning, he is an athlete of words and images. He is also an impeccable observer of thoughts and feelings."<BR>-"The Village Voice <BR>RABBIT REDUX <BR>" 'Great in love, in art, boldness, freedom, wisdom, kindness, exceedingly rich in intelligence, wit, imagination, and feeling-a great and beautiful thing . . .' these hyperboles (quoted from a letter written long ago by Thomas Mann) come to mind after reading John Updike's "Rabbit Redux."<BR>-The New York Times Book Review<BR>"<BR>"Updike owns a rare verbal genius, a gifted intelligence and a sense of tragedy made bearable by wit. . . . A masterpiece."<BR>-"Time

great novels 15. Oktober 2004
Von youdiss
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
It is quite a task to read through the two rabbit novels. I was equipped with my dictionary at all times and I made extensive use of it since John Updikes novels are not an easy read for a non-native speaker. The language is very elaborative and he writes extremely detailled going off in many colorful and intuitive tangents that are sometimes hard to incorporate.

The story slowly unfolds and reveals more and more of Harry Angstrom's (rabbit)ambivalent character living and coping with ordinary american middleclass surroundings. Even though the first rabbit novel (rabbit run) takes place in the fifties it does not seem outdated. The political and social surroundings may have changed over the decades but rabbits core conflict of being torn between the resposibility for his family and the desire to break free are still as up-to-date as they were back then. Harry Angstrom seems like one of us with his settling feeling of mediocrity. With barely 30 he is at the treshold of reorienting his life: his cherished highschool-memories of once having been a basketball star slowly fading and giving way to see the whole extent of having a family. But rabbit does differ from most of us - he is not held back by any qaulms and does the unthinkable: leaving his 7 month pregnant wife and their 3 year old son. Instead he is going on a rampage of a reckless egotrip, not showing up for work, hiding from his wife and his family and beginning an affair with another woman.

The second novel of this compilation (rabbit redux) takes place a good ten years later. Its the late 60s/ early 70s. Rabbit has overcome his desire to be free and unencumbered but has to face his families development. Rabbits son has become an estranged teenager not sharing any of his father's interest, his wife infactuated by the spirit of the 70's is having a passionate affair with a coworker. When she leaves rabbit for her lover rabbit returns to be the unrooted spirit we know already from the first novel, throwing his responsibilities overboard and providing shelter to a young run-away girl highly drawn to drugs and a mentally unstable young black enganged in radical political movements.

Also in his his second rabbit novel Updike doesn't fail to provide his reader with some dramatic twists. Rabbit is just a magnet to circumstantial amd emotional chaos even though in the end he always eludes unharmed.

The best edition for these novels 13. Juni 2006
Von John Leighton - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Twenty years from now, the Rabbit novels will be one of a host of books read in college gender studies classes to represent the postwar alteration of American marriage and family. It is rather amazing to read of cocktail-swilling couples seeing society dropouts appear on the scene, and then adopting some of the more selfish behaviors for their own. Also, the frank depictions of male-female lives--the various restricting gender roles, is illuminating. I personally found it quite remarkable to read the depictions of life from the early '60s onward--people riding the bus, when divorce was still shocking and far more damaging, how the hippie movement filtered into the middle American lives and tempted men and women to move on.

These are classic American novels, capturing the mood and sentiment in the way only the best fiction can: so that it is all "made up" by the author, but feels realer than reality. These novels are models of realist fiction, my favorite kind.

Good edition for reading 6. Juli 2009
Von Mark Town - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Just took this and the second volume on a beach vacation and consumed all four novels with eager gratefulness. I had read these first two novels when much younger - my take from later years is even more positive, although Updike's sexual obsession - and that is what it is - gets more tiresome more quickly to an older reader. To someone who has lived through the same times, these Rabbit novels are a gift, an illumination. These editions are far better than the one-volume Everyman edition, which is too heavy and can result in serious injury. Go for it. Read them quickly, in succession. You may be annoyed at times but the cumulative effect is to understand more about America, American decline (in particular note the Japanese Toyota executive's comments in Rabbit at Rest) and probably yourself.

America through the decades 25. April 2008
Von G. Jacobson - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I've reread these novels multiple time; each rereading has garnered me more insight into the time in which it evolves. Though ultimately pointing toward the hollowness that directed societal evolution through these times, Updike really catches all/most of the themes of suburban America. Volume 2 has "Rabbit is Rich", my favorite.
