Sobre este artículo
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company. Very Good+ in Good dust jacket. 1943. 3rd Printing. Hardcover. B&W Illustrations; This book is in Very Good+ condition and has a Good only dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some light bumping. The text pages are clean and bright. The book is illustrated throughout with artwork by Rockwell Kent. The dust jacket has edge wear, several medium sized tears, along with one four inch semi-closed tear. There are several chips missing to the spine ends, corners and edges of the dust jacket as well. "A transcendentalist and mystic in the tradition of Thoreau and Emerson, whose works he read, Kent found inspiration in the austerity and stark beauty of wilderness. After Monhegan, he lived for extended periods of time in Winona, Minnesota (1912–1913) , Newfoundland (1914–15) , Alaska (1918–19) , Vermont (1919–1925) , Tierra del Fuego (1922–23) , Ireland (1926) , and Greenland (1929; 1931–32; 1934–35). His series of land and seascapes from these often forbidding locales convey the Symbolist spirit evoking the mysteries and cosmic wonders of the natural world. "I don't want petty self-expression", Kent wrote, "I want the elemental, infinite thing; I want to paint the rhythm of eternity." .
Sinopsis
Paul Bunyan was never "stumped," and no job was ever too big for him and his blue ox to handle. From Michigan to Minnesota, from North Dakota to the Pacific Northwest, wherever Paul went, he liked to do things in a big way. In Esther Shepard's classic collection, originally published in 1924 and now available in this handsome new edition, the Paul Bunyan stories are superbly told in folksy narrative and robustly illustrated with Rockwell Kent's line drawings. These twenty-one tales about the super lumberjack are a unique American contribution to the world's folklore. Includes an introduction by the author.
