Had to read it for English in 10th grade, I think, but worthwhile anyway! ( ) 1689 Main-Travelled Roads, by Hamlin Garland (read 12 Jan 1982) This supposedly is the only "important" book Garland wrote. It is his first book, published in 1893. It is a book of short stories. Some were not bad. My favorite was "Uncle Ethan Ripley," about a farmer who lets a patent medicine salesman paint a sign on his barn for 25 bottles of the medicine. I found it funny--Garland is seldom funny. Some of the stories are, of course, stark, but not all of them. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Main-Travelled Roads contains eleven stories in this expanded and revised 1922 edition of an undisputed American classic. "Under the Lion's Paw" shows an honest, hard-working farmer victimized by a greedy landlord. Equally powerful is the semi-autobiographical "Up the Coolly," concerning a successful son who returns from the East to find his mother and brother trapped on a poor farm, defeated in spite of their best efforts. "Mrs. Ripley's Trip" is a tender story of an elderly couple settled in their frugal country ways, with the wife determined to realize her dream of revisiting childhood scenes. Although Garland paints no pretty pictures, he offers exhilarating moments in the lives of these farm people and never ignores the strength of individual will. William Dean Howells's introduction to the 1922 edition has been retained. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
