Overview"A novel with a wondrous blend of insight, storytelling, and the author's uncanny ability to evoke the mysteries and beauties of the natural world Joseph is a forty-three-year-old farmer-schoolteacher who suddenly finds himself at a crossroads. Forced to choose between two lovers--one a tantalizing young student, the other his beautiful childhood friend--he must also decide whether or not to stay on the farm or finally seek the wider, more worldly horizons he has avoided all his life. Praise for Farmer ""A quiet triumph . . . Joseph is a man suffocated by everything he loves most in the world; the land and its ghosts, love and friendship, integrity. Yes, it is the old story again. Taking it and make it new as Harrison has done, is a miracle on the order of loaves and fishes. But then so are all good novels.""--The Washington Post ""A sensitive, powerful love story about a man on the cutting edge of life . . . The characters are so real that often my eyes filled up with tears for their plight, their human helplessness.""--Richard Brautigan" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jim HarrisonPublisher: Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group Inc Imprint: Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 1.10cm , Length: 23.00cm Weight: 0.263kg ISBN: 9780385282284ISBN 10: 0385282281 Pages: 172 Publication Date: 15 October 1980 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Unknown Availability: Out of print, replaced by POD We will order this item for you from a manufatured on demand supplier.
