Gradić Peyton

Gradić Peyton

Grace Metalious

The Town of Peyton, with its directness of narration, comprehensibility and casualness, and its revelation of truth, won over the ordinary reader, who gave it well-deserved recognition all over the world.

Despite social condemnation, the resistance of all those countless leagues for the protection of morality, Christian purity, and the like, with which America is full, and the criticism that condemned the author of the novels Peyton Town and Return to Peyton Town and her works for eroticism and "the crudest naturalism", they experienced unprecedented success with a wide audience and were sold in tens of millions of copies in the original edition, translated into twenty languages, made into films, and appeared in the form of television series.

"In our small towns," the writer says in one place, "there are three phenomena that can shake the seemingly calm surface of events: suicide, the adoption of an illegitimate child, and the corruption of those in power." Behind this lie harsh human dramas, defeats and downfalls of human destinies in the form of incest, fornication, trampling on human dignity, and reconciliation with existing reality.

Hypocrisy and false morality reign, and Grace Metalious firmly and fearlessly pulls back the veil over the background of events that shake life in small towns.
