Begin with Rock, End with Water: Essays
ISBN: 9780881463842 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Begin with Rock, End with Water is John Lane's third collection of essays. In this new gathering of seventeen narrative essays Lane pushes even deeper into a twenty-year lyrical consideration of his place (and the place of all of us) in the changing natural world. Though there are many themes and settings in this collection, rivers such as the Chattooga, Youghigheny, Dead, Reedy, Micos, Yuribamba, and Tallahatchie figure prominently in Lane's understanding of place and culture.

Coming Into Animal Presence
ISBN: 9780881468717 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. John Lane continues his exploration of the intersection of the human imagination with the world of other animals in a companion volume to Coyote Settles the South (2016) and Neighbourhood Hawks (2019).

After many years of limited commitments to people or places, writer and naturalist John Lane married in his late forties and settled down in his hometown of Spartanburg, in the South Carolina piedmont. He, his wife, and two stepsons built a sustainable home in the woods near Lawson s Fork Creek. Soon after settling in, Lane pinpointed his location on a topographical map.

Chattooga : Descending into the Myth of Deliverance River
ISBN: 9780820326115 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Before the novel and the film Deliverance appeared in the early 1970s, any outsiders one met along the Chattooga River were likely serious canoeists or anglers. In later years, untold numbers and kinds of people have felt the draw of the river s torrents, which pour down the Appalachians along the Georgia-South Carolina border. Because of Deliverance the Chattooga looms enigmatically in our shared imagination, as iconic as Twain s Mississippi--or maybe Conrad s Congo. This is John Lane s search for the real Chattooga--for the truths that reside somewhere in the river s...

"The very Devil's in the moon for mischief: There's not a day, the longest, not the twenty-first of June, Sees half the mischief in a quiet way On which three single hours of moonlight smile." At my age, alas one no longer gets into mischief, either by moonlight or at midsummer, and yet to-day all the tricksey spirits of the invisible world are supposed to be abroad-tangling the horses' manes, souring the milkmaid's cream, setting lovers by the ears. Some such frisky Puck stirs even peaceable middle-aged blood at this season to mild little secret sins, such as beginning a diary in which to...
