In a small New England town in that hectic era when the sixties turned into the seventies, there lived three witches. Alexandra Spoffard, a sculptress, could create thunderstorms. Jane Smart, a cellist, could fly. The local gossip columnist, Sukie Rougemont, could turn milk into cream. Divorced but hardly celibate, the wonderful witches one day found themselves quite under the spell of the new man in town, Darryl Van Horne, whose strobe-lit hot tub room became the scene of satanic pleasures.

To tell you any more, dear reader, would be to spoil the joy of reading this hexy, sexy novel by the incomparable John Updike.

More than three decades have passed since the events described in John Updike’s The Witches of Eastwick. The three divorcées–Alexandra, Jane, and Sukie–have left town, remarried, and become widows. They cope with their grief and solitude as widows do: they travel the world, to such foreign lands as Canada, Egypt, and China, and renew old acquaintance. Why not, Sukie and Jane ask Alexandra, go back to Eastwick for the summer?

Книга Кэндэс Бушнелл - колумнистки из "New York Observer" - легла в основу одноименного сериала. Роман под названием "Секс и город" был опубликован в 1997 году и стал продолжением популярной колонки в газете - серии еженедельных эссе, в легкой и ироничной форме описывающих отношения между полами в современном Нью-Йорке. "Я начала вести эту колонку от первого лица, - говорит Кэндэс, - но потом пришлось изобрести персонажа по имени Кэрри Брэдшоу: я не хотела, чтобы мои родители прочли это и поняли, что творится в моей жизни". Когда у Бушнелл накопилось достаточно материала, она решила написать книгу, и абстрактное лицо под псевдонимом Кэрри Брэдшоу стало реальным литературным героем.

The book written by New York Observer’s columnist Candace Bushnell is the basis for an immensely popular television series of the same name. “Sex and The City” was first published in 1997 as a sequel of popular New York Observer’s column of ironic essays about sex relationships in the present-day New York. Candace says she started her column on her own behalf but later she had to think out a new character – Carrie Bradshaw for her parents could not bring her life into correlation with her column. After Candace decided to write a novel her abstract character became a real Carrie Bradshaw.

In 1860, a very strange event took place: Benjamin Button was born. While a baby’s birth may not seem like anything out of the ordinary, Benjamin’s was indeed remarkable, for he was born an old man. Complete with a long beard and white hair, the infant Benjamin is already talking with his father on the day he makes his debut in the world. Realizing that he is actually aging in reverse, Benjamin relies on dyeing his hair and shaving his beard during his childhood and youth to try and appear at least close to his biological age. No matter how well he might hide his secret, however, Benjamin knows that life will always be very different for him. As he grows older (and younger), he meets and falls in love with a beautiful woman, Hildegarde, who happens to be attracted to older men. Benjamin and Hildegarde marry and are happy—but only for a time. As Hildegarde grows older, Benjamin’s increasingly young heart yearns for freedom. Will this very strange man ever be able to find happiness even as he goes through life backwards? An odd and intriguing fable, this 1922 tale is one of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most unusual and memorable.
