Resumo de Marley And Me

Marley and Me/John Grogan Dogs are like a bridge to innocence for us Human... John Grogan is the Pennsylvania columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and much more than this...He tells a heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family in the making and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life. John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley quickly grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever, a dog like no other. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, flung drool on guests, stole women's undergarments, and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewelry. Obedience school did no good ? Marley was expelled. Neither did the tranquilizers the veterinarian prescribed for him with the admonishment, -Don't hesitate to use these-... And yet Marley's heart was pure. Just as he joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley shared the couple's joy at their first pregnancy, and their heartbreak over the miscarriage. He was there when babies finally arrived and when the screams of a seventeen-year-old stabbing victim pierced the night. Marley shut down a public beach and managed to land a role in a feature-length movie, always winning hearts as he made a mess of things. Through it all, he remained steadfast, a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans. Dog lovers will love this account of Grogan's much loved canine -Mr. Grogan knew the workings of Marley's mind. He makes that abundantly clear in Marley and Me, a very funny valentine to all those four-legged big, dopey, playful galumphs that seemed to love life with a passion not often seen in this world. It's a book with intense but narrow appeal, strictly limited to anyone who has ever had, known or wanted a dog. Marley had no brakes on his loyalty, exuberance, or passion. I am sure that Platero and Me by H.R.Himenz ,was a great inspiration for Grogan .H.r.Himenez describes this special kind of love between Man and Animal( which you don't find often) in a very unique Liric way . Another books of J.Grogan: -Help,I've Fallen and Need a ood Lough... -Selling without Selling Your Soul -Gold Nuggets and Silver Bullets. Marley and Me was written two months after Marley's death, out of anead to cope with the grief.The book is a best-seller in USA ! (for already 40 weeks). It was chosen by the New-York Times as 2005's best book, and more then 1000000 copies were published and sold .
