Produktbeskrivning
Teeming with tension, this immersive, rhapsodic story transports readers to the Swiss mountainside, bringing to mind the writing of Thomas Mann while offering character studies as vivid and bracing as Eudora Welty''s. Feed is running low in a rural village in Switzerland.
The town council meets to decide whether or not to ascend a chimerical mountain in order to access the open pastures that have enough grass to ''feed seventy animals all summer long.'' The elders of the town protest, warning of the dangers and the dreadful lore that enfolds the mountain passageways like thick fog.
They''ve seen it all before, reckoning with the loss of animals and men who have tried to reach the pastures nearly twenty years ago. The younger men don''t listen, making plans to set off on their journey despite all warnings. Strange things happen. Spirits wrestle with headstrong young men.
As the terror of life on the mountain builds, Ramuz''s writing captures the rural dialog and mindsets of the men. One of the most talented translators working today, Bill Johnston captures the careful and sublime twists and turns of the original in his breathtaking translation.
