El historiador Lyman Ward, ya retirado de sus tareas docentes, se propone investigar la memorable historia de sus abuelos: una pareja de la alta sociedad de la costa Este que en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX abandona el lugar en el que ambos habían crecido para instalarse en California, cuando este era un territorio aún por civilizar. Conforme va profundizando en los recuerdos de su familia, Lyman Ward se da cuenta de la intensidad con la que el pasado ayuda a iluminar y comprender el presente. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: Wallace Stegner's uniquely American classic centers on Lyman Ward, a noted historian who relates a fictionalized biography of his pioneer grandparents at a time when he has become estranged from his own family. Through a combination of research, memory, and exaggeration, Ward voices ideas concerning the relationship between history and the present, art and life, parents and children, husbands and wives. Like other great quests in literature, Lyman Ward's investigation leads him deep into the dark shadows of his own life. The result is a deeply moving novel that, through the prism of one family, illuminates the American present against the fascinating background of its past. Set in many parts of the West, Angle of Repose is a story of discovery??personal, historical, and geographical??that endures as Wallace Stegner's masterwork: an illumination of yesterday's reality that speaks to today's No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
