The Rabbit Is Back is the second novel in a series of works by John Updike about Harry Engstrom, nicknamed The Rabbit. The hero is almost forty years old, he is a respectable father of a family, and he has a permanent job, he seemed to understand that you can't run away from yourself. But his life is not smooth and calm: now the Rabbit's wife runs away from home, leaving her husband and son, and representatives of the "protesting" youth of America settle in their house, whose protest does not shy away from drugs, promiscuous sex and alcohol…If something was done for the sake of money, then it will smell of money... And cathedrals are so beautiful because noble gentlemen and ladies in velvet and ermine spared nothing to raise these stones to a proper height...John Updike (1932-2009) is one of the most significant American writers of the second half of the XX century, a novelist, poet and literary critic, author of 23 novels and 45 other books: collections of short stories, poems, critical articles about literature, painting, books for children. Winner of many literary awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes (for the novels "The Rabbit got Rich" and "The Rabbit calmed down"). Updike's greatest contribution to American literature was a series of novels about a Rabbit - a young American Harry Engstrom, his failed family life, an irrepressible desire for freedom and the collapse of his illusions.
