Ljubav na američki način

Ljubav na američki način

Irving Wallace

Irving Wallace's novel is a socio-psychological novel that deals with sexual behavior, morality, and hypocrisy in mid-20th-century American society.

The work is inspired by real sociological research on sexuality and provokes social norms of the time. The plot is based on the fictional Chapman Report, a comprehensive scientific study of the sexual life of Americans. Although the report was intended as an objective study, its publication provokes a stormy reaction in the public because it exposes hidden habits, double moral standards and repressed desires. The novel follows several characters from different social classes whose lives are intertwined with the creation and influence of the report. Special emphasis is placed on the fact that scientific research is also used as a tool for political and personal interests, which calls into question the objectivity of science and the sincerity of a society that supposedly stands for morality. Love, American Style (Chapman Report) critically exposes the myth of the moral purity of American society, emphasizing that the suppression of the truth does not lead to stability, but to hypocrisy, frustration and personal tragedies.
