ISBN: 9780803278110 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 153 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ted Kooser describes with exquisite detail and humor the place he calls home in the rolling hills of southeastern Nebraska an area known as the Bohemian Alps.

In the end, what makes life meaningful for Kooser are the ways in... Ted Kooser describes with exquisite detail and humor the place he calls home in the rolling hills of southeastern Nebraska an area known as the Bohemi...

When the house was new, not a single tree remained on its perfect lawn to give shade from the sun.

When the children grew up and moved away, their father, alone in the house, continued his battle against blowing seeds, plucking out sprouting trees. Until one day the father, too, moved away, and as the empty house began...
