Despre Heaven's My Destination carte
“If John Steinbeck’s mightyGrapes of Wrathis the tragic novel of the Great Depression, thenHeaven’s My Destinationis its comic masterpiece. —J.D. McClatchy
A hilarious tale about goodness in a fallen world,Heaven’s My Destinationintroduces George Marvin Brush, one of Thornton Wilder's most memorable characters. Brush, a traveling textbook salesman, is a fervent religious convert who is determined to lead a good life. With sad and sometimes hilarious consequences, his travels take him through smoking cars, bawdy houses, banks, and campgrounds from Texas to Illinois—and into the soul of Depression-era America itself.
This special edition includes an afterword by Wilder’s nephew, Tappan Wilder, with illuminating material about the author and book.

Thornton Wilder
THORNTON WILDER (1897–1975) is the only writer to win Pulitzer Prizes for both drama (Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth) and fiction (The Bridge of San Luis Rey). He collaborated with Alfred Hitchcock on Shadow of a Doubt, hiked the Alps with the heavyweight boxing champion Gene Tunney, received a Bronze Star for his service in World War II, and was credited with discovering Orson Welles. He was also a much-loved teacher, letter-writer (especially with Gertrude Stein), and public speaker—in four languages. Hello, Dolly! is based on his play The Matchmaker.
