Pocketbok. Avon books. 1984. 217 sidor.
Hyggligt skick. Skavd pärm. Filmatiserad med Robert Redford. The Natural, Bernard Malamud's first novel, first published in 1952, is also the first—and some would say still the best—novel ever written about baseball. The story of a superbly gifted "natural" at play in the fields of the old daylight baseball era—and invested it with the hardscrabble poetry, at once grand and altogether believable, that runs through all his best work.
