Unified Field Theory
ISBN: 9780820320489 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The short stories in "Unified Field Theory" capture characters in the middle of their lives as things fall apart. Jobs, marriages, and hopes disintegrate under people while they seek strategies and explanations. Some look for something larger than themselves, while others get in their cars and drive as if motion alone might offer a solution. In "When the Hoot Owl Moves Its Nest," a surveyor blames the wreck of his marriage on his inability to interpret old-fashioned signs. In "If You Meet Buddha by the Road," a bicyclist seeks peace, and perhaps finds it, in Buddhism, while his ex-wife...

Bamboo Fly Rod Suite: Reflections on Fishing and the Geography of Grace
ISBN: 9780820328355 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. After he was handed an old broken-down bamboo fly rod, Frank Soos waited several years before he cautiously undertook its restoration. That painstaking enterprise becomes the central metaphor and the unifying theme for the captivating personal essays presented here.

Unpleasantries: Considerations of Difficult Questions
ISBN: 9780295998404 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

His meditations move from fly-fishing in dangerously swift Alaska rivers to memories of the liars and dirty-joke tellers of his small-town Virginia childhood,...
