Hearts In Atlantis is composed of five interconnected, sequential narratives set in the years from 1960 to 1999. Each story is deeply rooted in the sixties, and each is haunted by the Vietnam War.In "Low Men in Yellow Coats," eleven-year-old Bobby Garfield discovers a world of predatory malice in his own neighborhood and that adults are sometimes not rescuers but at the heart of the terror.In the title story, a bunch of college kids get hooked on a card game, discover the possibility of protest...and confront their own collective heart of darkness, where laughter may be no more than the thinly disguised cry of the beast.In "Blind Willie" and "Why We`re in Vietnam," two men who grew up with Bobby in suburban Connecticut try to fill the emptiness of the post-Vietnam era in an America which sometimes seems as hollow and haunted as their own lives.And in "Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling," Bobby returns to his hometown where one final secret, and his heart`s desire may await him.Full of danger, suspense, and full of heart, Hearts In Atlantis takes some listeners to a place they have never been...and others to a place they have never been able to completely leave.
Stephen King proponuje czytelnikom pięć wypraw w niezbyt odległą przeszłość: lata sześćdziesiąte i siedemdziesiąte. Senna atmosfera amerykańskich prowincjonalnych miasteczek, zwyczajne troski i radości zwyczajnych ludzi, mało ważne wydarzenia, owocujące mało istotnymi konsekwencjami... Nie dajmy się jednak zwieść pozorom: spokój jest tylko udawany a zwyczajność powierzchowna. Pod cienką warstwą spokoju kipią niebezpieczne namiętności, uważny czytelnik bez trudu zaś ułoży z porozrzucanych przez autora fragmentów i wskazówek obraz co najmniej równie mroczny i groźny jak te, które mistrz literatury grozy kreślił w swoich wcześniejszych, bestsellerowych powieściach.
