Sobre este artículo
Comments: Very minor shelf wear to d-j.
Synopsis: This novel opens in 1910, as Clarence Wilmot, a Presbyterian minister, suddenly loses his faith and leaves the pulpit to become an encyclopaedia salesman. He also becomes a movie addict. The novel follows four generations of Wilmot's family through the 20th century.
Sinopsis
Taking its title from the "Battle Hymn of the Republic", IN THE BEAUTY OF THE LILIES traces one family's profound journey through four generations—and across the spiritual landscape of twentieth-century America. It is one of John Updike's fullest and finest work of fiction.

Great book. Classic Updike: lush prose, piercing observations of both the physical world and the human psyche, great sex, and terribly interesting examinations of various religious impulses. A booklover's book!
