Ten, kdo stojí v koutě – Chbosky Stephen (2022)

When a person stands in the corner, they may notice a lot of amazing things. But then comes the moment when it's time to step onto the dance floor and truly start living. Stephen Chbosky's gripping novel about the dilemma between inaction and desire has received enthusiastic acclaim, sparked controversy, and gained millions of devoted readers. The story of adolescence in high school, narrated by Charlie in letters, is more open and intimate than many diaries, while also being humorous and biting. We don't know where Charlie lives or to whom he is writing - we only have the words he has chosen to share. Torn between the desire to live his own life and the urge to break free from the role assigned to him, he explores uncharted territory. A world of first loves, family dramas, and new friendships opens up before him. A world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, where the key to happiness might be the right song that allows you to rush through a tunnel and feel infinite. In Charlie, Chbosky has managed to create a narrator who captivates you and transports you back to the wild and intensely experienced days on the brink of adulthood, when life resembled a roller coaster ride.
