Middleton, like memoirists, does not sacrifice style or beauty for the sake of objectivity and renders the lives of his great-uncle Albert and grandfather Emerson in a humble and reverant style. Middleton brilliantly structures the text, circling around his memories and the actions of the narrative like a hawk waiting to dive. And your heart gets the talons.

In this touching memoir of his boyhood on a farm in the Ozark foothills, Harry Middleton joins the front rank of nature writers alongside Edward Hoagland and Annie Dillard. It is the year 1965, a year rife with change in the world--and in the life of a boy whose tragic loss of innocence leads him to the healing landscape of the Ozarks. Haunted by indescribable longing, twelve-year-old Harry is turned over to two enigmatic guardians, men as old as the hills they farm and as elusive and beautiful as the trout they fish for--with religious devotion. Seeking strength and purpose from life, Harry learns from his uncle, grandfather, and their eccentric neighbor, Elias Wonder, that the pulse of life beats from within the deep constancy of the earth, and from one's devotion to it. Amidst the rhythm of an ancient cadence, Harry discovers his home: a farm, a mountain stream, and the eye of a trout rising. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
