- Understand how America tries to reconcile its myths with reality.
- Discover the author's personal story, torn between two continents.
Maciej Jarkowiec reveals a second, lesser-known face of the national faith of Americans in his book "Revolver Next to the Bible." He pierces myth after myth and takes us on a journalistic journey through history and the present - seen through the eyes of those whose voices were drowned out by the official narrative: Native Americans, Black Americans, veterans. From colonial expeditions to the Trump era, from the plantations of the South to the skyscrapers of Silicon Valley - this is a story about a country that legalizes marijuana, invests in immortality, and tries to reconcile its myths with reality.
It is also the author's personal story, torn between two continents. America - his second homeland - is both fascination and struggle. The time for this book seems to be the best, because the America of Trump 2.0, Musk and the like believes in the revolver and abuses biblical messages strongly. It is a time when even those who are immersed in the myth of the USA can see the intertwining of the American dream with American madness. Maciej Jarkowiec moves in time and space as boldly as competently, and his prose sparkles with delicious details and surprising compositions; it is alive and, above all, clear.
Artur Domosławski writes: "Among Polish authors writing about the United States, Maciej Jarkowiec is absolutely top." The book "Revolver Next to the Bible" is not only an analysis of America, but also a reflection on universal values and dilemmas of the modern world. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the complexity of American culture and its impact on global reality. Get to know America without retouching, America that believes in the revolver next to the Bible.
