✦ Synopsis

Одна из самых известных повестей Дорис Лессинг о "конфликте отцов и детей". Здесь представлена целая панорама послевоенных мировоззрений европейцев. И хоть в центре повествования - стареющий социалист Джек Оркни, повесть не теряет своей актуальности и по сей день, когда в социализм уже почти никто и не верит. Ведь, как это всегда у Дорис Лессинг, не в политике дело. А в людях и в том, что творится у них в головах.
