Ivan Doig

Opis

- A] novel that best expresses the American spirit.- -The Chicago Tribune
-If America was a melting pot, Butte seemed to be its boiling point, - observes Morrie Morgan, the itinerant teacher and inveterate charmer who stole readers' hearts in The Whistling Season. A decade later, he steps off the train and into the copper mining capital of the world in its jittery 1919 heyday. While the riches of -the Richest Hill on Earth- may elude him, once again a colorful cast of local characters seek him out. Before long, Morrie is caught up in the clash between the ironfisted Anaconda Mining Company, radical -outside agitators, - and the beleaguered miners. As tensions build aboveground and below, Morrie finds a unique way to give a voice to those who truly need one, and Ivan Doig proves yet again why he's reigning king of Western fiction.
