Nemesis
Roth Philip
It's the sweltering summer of 1944, and Newark is in the grip of a terrifying epidemic.
Decent, athletic twenty-three year old playground director Bucky Cantor is devoted to his charges and ashamed with himself because his weak eyes have excluded him from serving in the war alongside his contemporaries. As polio begins to ravage Bucky's playground - child by helpless child - Roth leads us through every emotion such a pestilence can breed: the fear, the panic, the anger, the bewilderment, the suffering and the pain.
'The genius of Philip Roth...back at his imperious best in this heartbreaking tale... The eloquence of Roth's storytelling makes Nemesis one of his most haunting works' Daily Mail
'Cantor is one of Roth's best creations and the atmosphere of terror is masterfully fashioned' Sunday Telegraph
'Very fine, very unsettling' Douglas Kennedy, The Times

Philip Roth je rođen 1933. u Newarku, New Jersey, u dobro situiranoj porodici američkih Jevreja. Studirao je jezik i književnost na univerzitetima Bucknell i Chicago.
Philip Roth je 1997. godine dobio Pulitzerovu nagradu za roman Američka pastorala. U Bijeloj kući mu je 1998. godine uručena Nacionalna medalja za umjetnost (National Medal of Arts), dok su mu 2002. dodijelili najveće priznanje Američke akademije za umjetnost i književnost (American Academy of Arts and Letters), Zlatnu medalju za književno djelo, čiji su prethodni dobitnici bili, između ostalih, John Dos Passos, William Faulkner i Saul Below. Dva puta je dobio Nacionalnu književnu nagradu (National Book Award), 1960. godine za svoju prvu knjigu Zbogom, Kolumbo, te 1996. godine za Sabbathov teatar. Također je i dvostruki dobitnik i Nacionalne nagrade kruga književnih kritičara (National Book Critics Circle Award), te trostruki lauerat nagrade PEN/Faulkner. 2005. godine za knjigu Zavjera protiv Amerike dobio je nagradu Američkog udruženja historičara (Society of American Historians' prize) za „izvanredan historijski roman o Americi tokom 2003–2004“ i nagradu W. H. Smith za Najbolju knjigu godine, kojom je Roth postao prvi autor u četrdesetšestogodišnjoj historiji koji ju je dobio dvaput.
2005. godine Roth je postao treći živući američki autor čiji je rad objavljen u sveobuhvatnom, konačnom izdanju Američke biblioteke. U sljedećim godinama dobio je nagrade PEN/Nabokov (2006) i PEN/Bellow (2007). 2011. godine u Bijeloj kući mu je dodijeljena Nacionalna humanistička medalja (National Humanities Medal), a kasnije su ga proglasili četvrtim dobitnikom Internacionalne nagrade Man Booker (Man Booker International Prize). Najviše špansko odlikovanje, nagradu Princ od Asturije (Prince of Asturias Award), dobio je 2012, a 2013. najviše francusko odlikovanje, Komandant Legije časti (Commander of the Legion of Honor).
