The women of Stepford are not all that they seem... All the beautiful people live in idyllic Stepford, Connecticut, an affluent, suburban Eden populated with successful, satisfied hubbies and beautiful, dutiful wives. For Joanna Eberhart, newly arrived with her husband and two children, it all seems too good to be true - from the sweet Welcome Wagon lady to all those cheerful, friendly faces in the supermarket checkout lines. But just beneath the town's flawless surface, something is sordid and wrong - something abominable with roots in the local Men's Association. And it may already be too late for Joanna to save herself from being devoured by Stepford's hideous perfection.

Роман "Ребенок Розмари" — классика хоррора — входит во все списки лучших триллеров. В этой истории нет привидений и монстров, но она по-настоящему пугает. Здесь ужас не в сверхъестественном, а в обыденном, что происходит прямо здесь и сейчас. И настоящим злом оказываются внешне приятные люди. Добро пожаловать в Бремфорд, замечательный многоквартирный дом на окраине Центрального парка в Нью-Йорке. Здесь светлые просторные квартиры, милейшие соседи... И происходят очень странные вещи. "Каждая книга Левина — шедевр построения сюжета. В романе саспенса Левин все равно что швейцарский хронометр, по сравнению с ним мы все — пятидолларовые часы, какие можно купить в магазинах, где продают вещи со скидкой", — это слова Стивена Кинга. Текст печатается с незначительными сокращениями и снабжен комментариями и словарем. Комментарии и словарь А.О. Лободы.

Considered one of the great dystopian thrillers - alongside A Clockwork Orange and Brave New World- Ira Levin's terrifying glimpse into the future continues to fascinate readers even forty years after publication. Set in a seemingly perfect global society, where uniformity is the defining feature, one man leads the resistance against UniComp - a central computer that has been programmed to keep every single human on the surface of the earth in check. All ethnic groups have been eugenically merged into a single race called 'The Family', and citizens are continually drugged so that they can never realise their potential as human beings, but will remain pliant and cooperative... With a vision as frightening as any in the history of the science fiction genre, This Perfect Day is one of Levin's most haunting novels.
