Simply in love with the language, the characters, the setting, berry juice and everything. Wonder if i should read the english version now. ( ) What an imagination that dear woman had. This original fairy tale set on the American frontier has so many familiar elements skewed in so many ways, its brilliance is just staggering. Welty took the Brothers Grimm and some American tall tales, and scrambled them into something entirely new. And to think it was written by a nice maiden lady from Mississippi. Well, as she said of herself, "A sheltered life can be a daring life as well. For all serious daring starts from within." Review written in 2007 nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: Legendary figures of Mississippi's past-flatboatman Mike Fink and the dreaded Harp brothers-mingle with characters from Eudora Welty's own imagination in an exuberant fantasy set along the Natchez Trace. Berry-stained bandit of the woods Jamie Lockhart steals Rosamond, the beautiful daughter of pioneer planter Clement Musgrove, to set in motion this frontier fairy tale. "For all her wild, rich fancy, Welty writes prose that is as disciplined as it is beautiful" (New Yorker). .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
