A Place on Earth - Wendell Berry

Descriere A Place on Earth - Wendell Berry

The revised 1983 edition of Berry's novel about Port William, Kentucky, the farm lands and forests that surround it, and the river that runs nearby, is back in print, resonating with variations played on themes of change; looping transitions from war into peace, winter into spring, and lost into found. \nPublished in 1967, we return to Port William during the Second World War to revisit Jayber Crow, the barber, Uncle Stanley, the gravedigger, Jarrat and Burley, the sharecroppers, and Brother Preston, the preacher, as well as Mat Feltner, his wife Margaret, and his daughter-in-law Hannah, whose son will be born after news comes that Hannah's husband Virgil is missing. \nThe earth is the genius of our life, Wendell Berry writes here. The final questions and their answers lie serenely coupled in it.\n
