Each book in the series is a literary gem.Henry Charles Bukowski was born in Germany, but later moved with his family to the United States. He will go down in history as one of the iconic American writers of the twentieth century. Ninety-nine of Bukowski's hundred works are autobiographical. Henry Chinaski is the writer's alter ego, his lyrical antihero who appears in many stories."Bread and ham" is a "horror novel," Bukowski said. Little Henry lives with his family in a poor neighborhood. He gets bullied at school. The father periodically pulls out a belt, but the mother remains silent and does not try to protect her son. Henry escapes from the cruelty and injustice of the adult world into the literary worlds of Thomas Wolfe, Ivan Turgenev, Fyodor Dostoevsky and other writers. However, alcohol, which Henry discovers during his teenage years, is much more effective. Life turns out to be bearable with him, and it doesn't hurt so much to fight and get punched in the gut.This book is about a childhood that didn't exist.Bread and Ham is Bukowski's most heartfelt novel. Like Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and Jerome Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye," it is written from the perspective of an impressionable child dealing with the duplicity, pretentiousness, and vanity of the adult world.The cover design is inspired by the "quiet luxury" and "old money" styles. Minimalistic series "Pearl. The classic of quiet luxury" is created as an elegant addition to the iconic images of Princess Diana and Jacqueline Kennedy. These books can complete the stylish image of a successful girl, as well as become part of the interior of an apartment, restaurant, hotel and other spaces.The metallic paper creates a glowing cover effect. The colors shimmer softly and quietly. On the spine, the book's symbol is embossed in silver, which enhances the effect of internal light. The three-dimensional embossing of the shapes creates a pleasant tactile sensation.The text is printed on white paper, soft to the touch. A large and convenient font has been selected for the series, from which the eyes will not get tired.
