Hooker & Brown: A Novel

Autor Jerry Auld
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 aug 2009
Set in the Canadian Rockies, Hooker & Brown is an evocative adventure story about one man's quest to put to rest a historical mystery. While reading a history book of the area, Rumi--a trail crewman in the Rocky Mountain Parks system--learns of two mysterious mountains, and their story is re-entered into the climber's imagination. Excited by the idea of seeing the mountains and retracing the steps of earlier mountaineers, Rumi begins a pursuit to reach these peaks and to find out if they truly do exist. Based on a true story from the Rocky Mountains and filled with exhilarating descriptions of one climber's attempt to tackle some of the world's greatest peaks, Hooker & Brown explores the effect of mystery and historical inaccuracies in our lives.

Recenzii

"With this powerful and highly poetic first novel Jerry Auld achieves a new peak in the literary interpretation of the nature, history and culture of the mountain West. It is a book about the power of maps and dreams that explores our relationship to gravity and ghosts, rock, water and place with an ending that will leave you breathless. Auld confirms once again that no one returns from the high places unchanged." -- Robert Sandford, Water, Weather and the Mountain West
"A Rocky Mountain yarn, imaginatively told." -- Karsten Heuer, Being Caribou
"Like a polished stone, Hooker & Brown reveals layers of time, meaning and beauty." -- Thomas Wharton, Icefields
