Description

An audiobook about a turning point in the history of one family—against the backdrop of the economic and political upheavals of the late 20th century!

The novel “The Corrections,” published in 2001, brought worldwide fame to the forty-two-year-old Jonathan Franzen and placed him alongside the classics of American literature. The book sold in millions of copies, won the National Book Award in the United States, and was translated into 35 languages. The story of a Midwestern family, told with irony and love, turned out to be deeply universal. The Lamberts couple and their three grown children resemble any real family: they love and hate each other, ruin and save each other’s lives—and no one, including themselves, can keep them from gathering at the Christmas table if that’s what their mother wants. The backdrop to this eternal conflict is America of the 1990s—with its outward well-being and inner anxiety, a vague anticipation of change.
