Beschreibung

One of the most beloved works of fiction of the late twentieth century, a book that has been handed down from reader to reader, parent to child, friend to friend, for generations
When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of A River Runs through It and Other Stories to New York publishers, he received a slew of rejections. One editor, so the story goes, replied, "it has trees in it." Forty years later, the title novella is recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of a long life of often surprising rapture--for fly-fishing, for the woods, for the interlocked beauty of life and art--A River Runs through It has established itself as a classic of the American West. This new edition will introduce a fresh audience to Maclean's beautiful prose and understated emotional insights.

Elegantly redesigned, A River Runs through It includes a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the Academy Award-winning 1992 film adaptation of River. Based on Maclean's own experiences as a young man, the book's two novellas and short story are set in the small towns and mountains of western Montana. It is a world populated with drunks, loggers, card sharks, and whores, but also one rich in the pleasures of fly-fishing, logging, cribbage, and family. By turns raunchy and elegiac, these superb tales express, in Maclean's own words, "a little of the love I have for the earth as it goes by."

Ein Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur

Es wird hier eine Geschichte von zwei ungleichen Brüdern erzählt. Die von ihrem Vater, der ein presbyterianischer Geistlicher mit schottischer Herkunft ist, im Fliegenfischen unterwiesen. Der Ort ist im Westen von Montana im Sommer 1937. Nach einem Angelausflug wird Paul ermordet in der Stadt aufgefunden. Es ist ein sehr packendes Buch mit Erklärungen rund um das Fliegenfischen. Es kommt aber auch der Zusammenhalt innerhalb der Familie zum Vorschein in der es auch immer eine helfende Hand gibt.

"Help," he said, "is giving part of yourself to somebody who comes to accept it willingly and needs it badly. So it is that we can seldom help anybody." Eine berührende Erzählung von einer Familie, in der Fliegenfischen beinahe zur Religion wird.
