Sobre este artículo
London: Andre Deutsch, 1959. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. 319 p. 20 cm. Red cloth hardcover in mylar-covered dustjacket illustrated by Bernard Blatch. Light wear to jacket edges. Paper browning slightly.
Mordecai Richler's satirical fourth novel continues to be his most popular. Duddy Kravitz is a combative, scheming liar but decades of readers have found him hilarious. Bound and determined to be a "somebody," Duddy can never get ahead and, for every thing he gains, something else - or someone else - is lost. Not until he faces ruin does he finally become bearable. An important book in the development of Canadian fiction.

Sinopsis
From Mordecai Richler, one of our greatest satirists, comes one of literature's most delightful characters, Duddy Kravitz -- in a novel that belongs in the pantheon of seminal twentieth century books. Duddy -- the third generation of a Jewish immigrant family in Montreal -- is combative, amoral, scheming, a liar, and totally hilarious. From his street days tormenting teachers at the Jewish academy to his time hustling four jobs at once in a grand plan to "be somebody," Duddy learns about living -- and the lesson is an outrageous roller-coaster ride through the human comedy. As Richler turns his blistering commentary on love, money, and politics, The Apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz becomes a lesson for us all...in laughter and in life.
