Więcej o książce
In a rising Saudi Arabian city, far from weary, recession-scarred America, a struggling businessman pursues a last-ditch attempt to stave off foreclosure, pay his daughter's college tuition, and finally do something great. In A Hologram for the King, Dave Eggers takes us around the world to show how one man fights to hold himself and his splintering family together in the face of the global economy's gale-force winds. This taut, richly layered, and elegiac novel is a powerful evocation of our contemporary moment -- and a moving story of how we got here. 'Haunting, beautifully shaped and sad . . . Eggers has developed an exceptional gift for opening up the lives of others so as to offer the story of globalism as it develops and, simultaneously, to unfold a much more archetypal tale of struggle and loneliness and drift.' Pico Iyer, The New York Times Book Review 'A comic but deeply affecting tale about one man's travails that also provides a bright, digital snapshot of our times.' Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times A 2012 National Book Award Finalist
