About This Item
Scribner, 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good . 5x0x8. Two tiny spots of stain and some light soiling to top edge. Signed by Doerr on title page. The author's first book; signed copies rarely offered. The exquisitely crafted stories in Anthony Doerrâs debut collection take readers from the African Coast to the pine forests of Montana to the damp moors of Lapland, charting a vast physical and emotional landscape. Doerr explores the human condition in all its varietiesâmetamorphosis, grief, fractured relationships, and slowly mending heartsâconjuring nature in both its beautiful abundance and crushing power. Some of the characters in these stories contend with hardships; some discover unique gifts; all are united by their ultimate deference to the ravishing universe outside themselves. Many of the stories take place in countries within Africa and New Zealand, where he has worked and lived. Anthony Doerr is an American author of novels and short stories. He gained widespread recognition for his 2014 novel All the Light We Cannot See, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
