Description
A River Runs Through It and Other Stories by Norman Maclean is a beautifully crafted collection of stories that explore the intricate relationships between life, art, and the natural world. Set in the small towns and mountains of western Montana, these novellas and short story are infused with the author's own experiences and passions, including fly-fishing and the beauty of the wilderness. Through his understated yet powerful prose, Maclean brings to life a world of characters who are both flawed and endearing, from drunks to loggers, card sharks to whores. Yet, despite their rough exteriors, these individuals are also rich in the pleasures of life, and their stories are a testament to the enduring power of love, family, and the human spirit. This new edition of A River Runs Through It features a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the 1992 film adaptation, and is elegantly redesigned to introduce a fresh audience to Maclean's beautiful writing.
