Sobre este artículo
New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc, 1967. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. Review copy, with the publisher's slip laid in. The author's second novel. Set in the critical year of 1945, it focuses on farmer Mat Feltner's struggle over the news that his son Virgil has been listed as missing in action while also telling multiple tales of the lives of other Port William, Kentucky residents, such as Burley Coulter, Jack Beechum, Ernest Finley, Ida and Gideon Crop. From the library of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael Parks, with his ink signatures to the front endpaper. Octavo. Original brown cloth binding, with green and bronze titles. A crisp, unread copy. Light bump to the spine head; else nearly fine in a near fine dust jacket.
Sinopsis
Part ribald farce, part lyrical contemplation, Wendell Berry's novel is the story of a place-Port William, Kentucky-the farm lands and forests that surround it, and the river that runs nearby The rhythms of this novel are the rhythms of the land. A Place on Earth resonates with variations played on themes of change; looping transitions from war into peace, winter into spring, browning flood destruction into greening fields, absence into presence, lost into found. This brings the revised 1983 edition back into print, the next book in our program to put all of Wendell Berry's fiction into print in revised and corrected uniform editions.
