Sinopsis
Conrad Michael Richter was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist whose work focuses on life along the American frontier. His novel, The Waters of Kronos, won the National Book Award in 1961. The novel is based on Richter's Pennsylvania childhood. It is centered on the journey of John Donner, an anxious, nostalgic man; who travels back to the town of his birth and hopes to discover answers that would explain away his deep-seated ennui. A haunting, beautifully written novel, Richter captures the realizations of Donner as he finds that rural America, with its close knit families and intimate local societies have mostly gone the way of modern America.
