Opis

This book are eleven short stories and was also published under the title of "The Old Home House" Lincoln claimed that he was satisfied "spinning yarns" that made readers feel good about themselves and their neighbors. Two of his stories have been adapted to film. Lincoln's literary career celebrating "old Cape Cod" can partly be seen as an attempt to return to an Eden from which he had been driven by family tragedy. His literary portrayal of Cape Cod can also be understood as a pre-modern haven occupied by individuals of old Yankee stock which was offered to readers as an antidote to an America that was undergoing rapid modernization, urbanization, immigration, and industrialization Joseph C. Lincoln's stories echo back to a time of whaling, fishing, snowy Cape Cod Christmas', friends, warm summer days on the beach, sailing, and working the cranberry bogs. It is quintessential Americana, with a twist of adventure, drama, and sometimes mystery wrapped up in a flavorful, Jimmy Buffet-esque atmosphere of life on old Cape Cod.
