About This Item
Boston: Beacon Press, 1957. Hard cover. Good in good dust jacket. hardcover condition good IN GOOD DJ--copyright 1957. hardcover condition good IN GOOD DJ--copyright 1957 Amos Jackman (Hardcover IN DUST JACKET CONDITION GOOD-PUBLISHED BY BEACON PRESS-BOOK CLUB EDITION VINTAGE 1957-281 PAGES. ) by Daniel Doan (Author) To anyone who has known and loved the rugged hill country, here is a road back home again. It is a good deal more than that-but it is that, first of all. Here is a lean and honest style which makes no attempt to create purple patches but which in its straightforward commitment to the facts recalls powerful emotions associated with the bone-deep call of the land and its beauty. How misadventures can change a man, and how a man-if he is whole at heart and has courage-can develop a magnificence resilience against tragedy, is shown in this poignant story. There is no sentimentality here. From the sunny May morning when Amos Jackman, who is in his early twenties, stands on a ledge in the woods beside a brook and watches a girl fish for trout, to the final acceptance of sacrifice and change, this deeply human drama gives a sense of the wonder of the strength inherent in mere mortals. It is the sort of book that becomes by some magic a part of the reader's own experience, and just as hard to forget.
