With the expected grace of Wendell Berry comes The Hidden Wound, an essay about racism and the damage it has done to the identity of our country.

In a rural Kentucky river town, "Old Jack" Beechum, a retired farmer, sees his life again through the sades of one burnished day in September 1952.

Standing by Words: Essays
ISBN: 9781582437453 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "If we fail to do what is required and if we do what is forbidden, we exclude ourselves from the mercy of Nature; we destroy our place, or we are exiled from it." The essays of Wendell Berry are an extended conversation about the life he values; sustainable agriculture, a connection to place, the miracle of life, and the interconnectedness of all things. The existence of this life is dependent on our devotion to preserving it, an emotional proximity to the land that is slipping away from us. In six elegant, linked literary essays, Berry considers the degeneration of language that is...

Jayber Crow
ISBN: 9781582431604 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Jayber Crow, born in Goforth, Kentucky, orphaned at age ten, began his search as a "pre-ministerial student" at Pigeonville College. There, freedom met with new burdens and a young man needed more than a mirror to find himself. But the beginning of that finding was a short conversation with "Old Grit," his profound professor of New Testament Greek. "You have been given questions to which you cannot be given answers. You will have to live them out--perhaps a little at a time."
"And how long is that going to take?" "I don't know. As long as you live, perhaps." "That could be... Jayber Crow, born in Goforth, Kentucky, orphaned at age ten, began his search as a "pre-ministerial student" at Pigeonville College. There, freedom me...

When he accepted the invitation to deliver The Jefferson Lecture--our nation's highest honor for distinguished intellectual achievement--Wendell Berry decided to take on the obligation of thinking again about the problems that have engaged him throughout his long career. He wanted a fresh start, not only in looking at the groundwork of the problems facing our nation and the earth itself, but in gaining hope from some examples of repair and healing even in these times of Late Capitalism and its destructive contagions. As a poet and writer he understood already that much can be gleaned from...

"Ignorant boys, killing each other," is just about all Nathan Coulter would tell his wife, friends, and family about the Battle of Okinawa in the spring of 1945.

ISBN: 9781582434872 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Wendell Berry identifies himself as both -a farmer of sorts and an artist of sorts, - which he deftly illustrates in the scope of these 22 essays. Ranging from America's insatiable consumerism and household economies to literary subjects and America's attitude toward waste, Berry gracefully navigates from one topic to the next. He speaks candidly about the ills plaguing America and the growing gap between people and the land. Despite the somber nature of these essays, Berry's voice and prose provide an underlying sense of faith and hope. He frames his reflections with poetic responsibility,...

The Long-Legged House
ISBN: 9781619020016 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. First published in 1969 and out of print for more than twenty-five years, The Long-Legged House was Wendell Berry's first collection of essays, the inaugural work introducing many of the central issues that have occupied him over the course of his career. Three essays at the heart of this volume-The Rise, The Long-Legged House, and A Native Hill -are essays of homecoming and memoir, as the writer finds his home place, his native ground, his place on earth. As he later wrote, What I stand for is what I stand on, and here we see him beginning the acts of rediscovery and resettling.
