SynopsisBuzz Books by Publishers Lunch selection "In spare and lovely prose, Andrew Krivak folds the deep past and the far future into a remarkable fable about our inheritance as humanity makes a harmonic return to the spirit and animal worlds. This book follows you, like a river under ice." -- Adam Johnson , author of The Orphan Master's Son and Fortune Smiles "A tight yet expansive novel in prose so vivid you forget these are words and not the cedar, trout, and stones of a post-Anthropocene Earth. Through the middle of The Bear walks an unnamed girl whose determination to go on living will fill you with awe." -- Salvatore Scibona , author of The End and The Volunteer In an Edenic future, a girl and her father live close to the land in the shadow of a lone mountain. They possess a few remnants of civilization: some books, a pane of glass, a set of flint and steel, a comb. The father teaches the girl how to fish and hunt, the secrets of the seasons and the stars. He is preparing her for an adulthood in harmony with nature, for they are the last of humankind. But when the girl finds herself alone in an unknown landscape, it is a bear that will lead her back home through a vast wilderness that offers the greatest lessons of all, if she can only learn to listen. A cautionary tale of human fragility, of love and loss, The Bear is a stunning tribute to the beauty of nature's dominion. Andrew Krivak is the author of two previous novels: The Signal Flame , a Chautauqua Prize finalist, and The Sojourn , a National Book Award finalist and winner of both the Chautauqua Prize and Dayton Literary Peace Prize. He lives with his wife and three children in Somerville, Massachusetts, and Jaffrey, New Hampshire, in the shadow of Mount Monadnock, which inspired much of the landscape in The Bear ., A gorgeous fable of Earth's last two human inhabitants, and a girl's journey home.

Incredible and touching story
I've been looking for a book that I could use for my turn in my book club. This is the one. I've tired of war, Holocaust, slavery, prejudice in general books. All important, but sometimes you need something positive to touch your heart. I'm looking forward to my turn to discuss this treasure.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
