Povznesení - CDmp3 (Čte Jiří Lábus)

Even though he is mysteriously losing weight himself, he tries to ease the lives of others... Welcome back to Castle Rock, the setting for a series of unforgettable stories by Stephen King! This time, the master of horror has adopted a somewhat more civilian tone, yet his narrative carries a hint of mystery. The hero of the novella Elevation is Scott Carey, who has a certain problem with his body weight. Although he still looks the same – like a chubby middle-aged man – his weight shows lower and lower numbers every day, regardless of how much he has eaten or what he is wearing. However, he refuses to seek medical help and confides his mysterious condition to only a few friends. And while he naturally wonders what will happen on the day he weighs zero, he is currently more troubled by the intolerance that the local community shows towards his two neighbors. A lesbian couple from Boston has opened a vegetarian restaurant here, which most of the conservative Castle Rock residents are boycotting, and Scott decides to lend them a helping hand... King's surprising morsel can be confidently tasted even by those unacquainted with horror. Length of the recording: 3 hours 21 minutes.
