In 1782 an immigrant with the high-toned name J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur--`Heartbreak` in English--wrote a pioneering account of one European`s transformation into an American. Some two hundred years later Jonathan Raban, arrived in Crèvecoeur`s wake to see how America has paid off for succeeding generations of newcomers. The result is a book that is at once a travelogue, a social history, and a love letter to the United States.
In the course of Hunting Mr. Heartbreak, Raban passes for homeless in New York and tries to pass for a good ol` boy in Alabama (which entails `renting` an elderly black lab). He sees the Protestant work ethic perfected by Korean immigrants in Seattle--one of whom celebrates her new home as `So big! So green! So wide-wide-wide!`--and repudiated by the lowlife of Key West. And on every page of this peerlessly observant work, Raban makes us experience America with wonder, humor, and an unblinking eye for its contradictions.

ACCLAIM FOR JONATHAN RABAN
Hunting Mister Heartbreak
“I immensely admired Hunting Mister Heartbreak, which seems to me the best book of travel ever written by an Englishman about the United States.”
—-Jan Morris, Independent Books of the Year
“A mordantly funny book that presents itself as a work of reportage, but proves to be a work of literature in disguise.”
—Edward Mendelson, Daily Telegraph
“Travel writing does not properly encompass his multiplicity of roles. He is demographer, diarist, historian, spectator and, triumphandy, writer. His prose is thick with unexpected insights, witty turn-abouts, mots-justes. One is caught between admiring the enormous sprawl of his inquiry and the minute felicities of his style.”
—Anthony Quinn, New Statesman
“No writer is a more engaging travelling companion.”
—Michael Didbin, Independent on Sunday
“Sheer pleasure Funny, quirky and shrewd. A book I hated to finish.”
—Penelope Lively, Sunday Telegraph Books of the Year
“Raban is always on the wings of language and observation. His perceptions match anything he has written.”—Paul Barker, The Listener
Old Glory
“More successful than 99 percent of the books about America since de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America.”
—Diane Johnson, New York Times Book Review
“Raban is a wonderful writer, with great powers of description, and above all the ability to interpret with elegant tact and lightness ”
—Noel Perrin, New York Review of Books

Za kupovine ukupne vrednosti preko 2.000 dinara moguće lično preuzimanje u Cara Dušana u Novom Sadu. Ako je za pojedinačnu knjigu navedena samo opcija Pošta, lično preuzimanje samo te knjige nije moguće. U Novom Sadu moguća je lična dostava i plaćanje preko službe Eko-kurir (cena je 250-300 din).
STANJE KNJIGE:
Knjiga koju dobijate je ona koja je na slici. Ukoliko nije naznačeno da je knjiga nova ili nekorišćena, ponekad se desi da na predlistu stoji potpis, posveta ili pečat i da to nije navedeno u opisu. Ako vam takve stvari smetaju, pitajte me pre kupovine da proverim.
KOMUNIKACIJA:
Komunikacija ide isključivo preko Kupindo poruka, ne telefonom. Budite normalni.
POPUSTI, CENKANJE I SL.:
Cena je ta koja piše, molim vas da mi ne šaljete pitanja o poslednjoj i zadnjoj ceni niti svoje kontraponude.
SLANJE:
Knjige šaljem kao tiskovinu ili CC paket nakon uplate na račun. Pakujem ih bezbedno i pažljivo, dobijate ih u stanju u kojem su poslate. Poštarina za jednu pošiljku obično iznosi od 190 do 260 din, u zavisnosti od težine. To je poštarina za tiskovinu, CC paket je skuplji, post ekspres je najskuplji. Za četiri i više pojedinačno kupljenih knjiga (u to ne spadaju kompleti) ja snosim troškove poštarine. Potrebno je da uplatite/preuzmete knjigu u propisanom roku od 7 dana.
SUSEDNE ZEMLJE I INOSTRANSTVO:
Poštarina je za jednu knjigu visoka i okvirno se kreće od 10-15 eur za prvu i oko 7 eura za svaku dodatnu knjigu. Postoji mogućnost znatno isplativijeg slanja za teže pakete. Uplate PayPalom (+10%), direktno na devizni račun, Western Union ili Moneygram. Najbolje je da pre kupovine pitate koliki su troškovi dostave, jer su često veći od cene same knjige.
