Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the Beauty of the Lilies begins in 1910 and traces Gods relation to four generations of American seekers, beginning with Clarence Wilmot, a clergyman in Paterson, New Jersey. He loses his faith but finds solace at the movies, respite from the bleak facts of life, his life, gutted by Gods withdrawal. His son, Teddy, becomes a mailman who retreats from American exceptionalism, religious and otherwise, into a life of studied ordinariness. Teddy has a daughter, Esther, who becomes a movie star, an object of worship, an All-American goddess. Her neglected son, Clark, is possessed of a native Christian fervor that brings the story full circle: in the late 1980s he joins a Colorado sect called the Temple, a handful of Gods elect hastening the day of reckoning. In following the Wilmots collective search for transcendence, John Updike pulls one wandering thread from the tapestry of the American Century and writes perhaps the greatest of his later novels. Taking its title from the "Battle Hymn of the Republic", this book traces one family's profound journey through four generations--and across the spiritual landscape of 20th century America. It is perhaps John Updike's fullest and finest work of fiction. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780449911211
