The Human Stain
Roth Philip
Philip Roth’s brilliant conclusion to his eloquent trilogy of post-war America – a magnificent successor to American Pastoral and I Married a Communist
It is 1998, the year America is plunged into a frenzy of prurience by the impeachment of a president, and in a small New England town a distinguished classics professor, Coleman Silk, is forced to retire when his colleagues allege that he is a racist. The charge is unfounded, the persecution needless, but the truth about Silk would astonish even his most virulent accuser.
Coleman Silk has a secret, one which has been kept for fifty years from his wife, his four children, his colleagues, and his friends, including the writer Nathan Zuckerman. It is Zuckerman who comes upon Silk's secret, and sets out to unearth his former buried life, piecing the biographical fragments back together. This is against backdrop of seismic shifts in American history, which take on real, human urgency as Zuckerman discovers more and more about Silk's past and his futile search for renewal and regeneration.
‘An extraordinary book - bursting with rage, humming with ideas, full of dazzling sleights of hand'- Sunday Telegraph

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).
