Country PlaceEbenso zeitlos wie The Street: Ann Petrys Roman ber Idealisierung und Desillusionierung und ber menschliche Abgrnde. Ein kleiner Ort in Connecticut: Johnnie kommt aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zurck. Die Kleinstadt ist nicht das Idyll, zu dem Johnnie sie in seiner Sehnsucht gemacht hat ebenso wenig wie Glory die wunderbare Ehefrau ist, die Johnnie in ihr sehen wollte, wie er nach und nach erkennen muss.

Ebenso zeitlos wie »The Street«: Ann Petrys Roman über Idealisierung und Desillusionierung und über menschliche Abgründe.

Ein kleiner Ort in Connecticut: Johnnie kommt aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zurück. Die Kleinstadt ist nicht das Idyll, zu dem Johnnie sie in seiner Sehnsucht gemacht hat – ebenso wenig wie Glory die wunderbare Ehefrau ist, die Johnnie in ihr sehen wollte, wie er nach und nach erkennen muss. Johnnie empfindet sich nicht nur als Kriegsveteran, sondern auch als Veteran »des nicht enden wollenden Kampfes zwischen denen, die zu Hause blieben, und denen, die weggingen«.
Das Städtchen Lennox ist klatschsüchtig, böswillig und dünkelhaft. Es pflegt seine Verachtung für alles Fremde: das schwarze Dienstmädchen Neola, der portugiesische Gärtner, der jüdische Anwalt und die irischen Katholiken der Stadt gelten als »anders« und nicht dazugehörig.
Ann Petry zeigt, was passiert, wenn alle Fassaden bröckeln und ein großer Teil der Einwohner von Lennox sich als menschlich mies, intolerant, reaktionär oder gierig entpuppen. Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen: Johnnie und die alte Mrs. Gramby. Diese beiden ordnen ihr Leben oder das Leben ihrer Mitmenschen neu und besser...

»Berechnung, Untreue, Ehebruch, versuchter Mord, plötzlicher Tod und eine Reihe von überraschenden Erbschaften, die die Dinge mehr oder weniger in Ordnung bringen – das sind einige der vorherrschenden Themen, die in Country Place behandelt werden.« Richard Sullivan, New York Times, 1947

Sturdy, well built has wheels that makes it easy to move and also lock in place.
Size: 100LBS
Happy with my purchase. Sturdy well built, love that it has wheels makes it easy to move around and wheels lock in place. I choose to fill it with sand and water as it gets really windy where we live this will prevent my umbrella flying to the neighbors house again 😅

Must Read before Purchasing!!!! Height is lost if you use this base!!!!
Size: 100LBS
I was so very excited about this for our umbrella - and then I put it together. I called my adult son to come and take a look - I had to be doing something wrong. To our dismay, I was not. The lowest pole in the umbrella system has 4 welded pieces with holes meant to connect to the legs, thus stabilizing the structure. The lowest pole measures (guestimate) 3 feet. When you choose this system, you do not use the original cross-bars, nor the original lowest pole with the 4 welded pieces. Rather, you use a newly provided lowest piece roughly measuring a foot. In doing so, the structure loses a total of almost 2 feet. For average-height individuals, this would not be a problem. For individuals 6' or greater, this is quite a problem. My son is 6'6. My husband is 6'2. I really wanted the portability of the product. However, we will be returning it for the kind that rest on the cross-bars. I wish someone had mentioned this in the reviews I read and saved me the trouble.

Happy hound!
Color: Yellow, Color: Yellow
My 2 yr old bloodhound destroys every toy in minutes, but not this one. My husband and I actually buy toys to see how long they last for fun. Although the croc is NOT indestructible, it lasts a whole lot longer than most. After an hr or so, I took away the only piece he's chewed off which is part of the back leg. Otherwise nothing else is missing off the croc. Our boy has been very occupied with this new toy and we're satisfied with his new distraction!

Definitely a tough toy
Color: Blue
This is one of the few toys my Boxer/american bulldog mix hasn’t been able to tear apart. He loves chewing on it and I love that he doesn’t chew on stuff he shouldn’t. I have such an issue with toys being torn apart the day I bring them home. I wish there was a safe way for it to have a squeaker since he loves squeakers but I don’t think that is possible.

Croc-sational
Color: Blue
My tough chewer is OBSESSED with Croc. Stands up well, small particles occasionally come off but this beats going thru 3 stuffies in an hour. Good value, easy to clean and great for our 91lb pitty
