Praise for The Dying Grass "Stunning. . .The indefatigable, seeming inexhaustible Vollmann returns with another impossibly long - and peerless - book, this one an epic study of the Nez Perce War of 1877. . .Vollmann restores that history with an onrushing immediacy that takes on all the contours of a good Greek tragedy. . .Vollmann's vivid reconstruction is believable and achingly beautiful. . .a note-perfect incantation."-- Kirkus Reviews , Praise for The Dying Grass "Stunning. . .The indefatigable, seeming inexhaustible Vollmann returns with another impossibly long - and peerless - book, this one an epic study of the Nez Perce War of 1877. . .Vollmann restores that history with an onrushing immediacy that takes on all the contours of a good Greek tragedy. . .Vollmann's vivid reconstruction is believable and achingly beautiful. . .a note-perfect incantation."-- Kirkus Reviews "A colossal, ravishingly descriptive, adeptly omniscient novel...Vollmann's rampaging, reflective, absurd, ironic, tragic, and poetic epic is supported by a painstakingly compiled chronology, glossaries, and copious notes. Yet for all this documentation, this is a work of grand invention, creative empathy, and holistic interpretation.. . This virtuoso, polyphonic saga of invasion, resistance, forced exodus, and conquest flows, whirls, and mesmerizes with riverine dynamics, and it is as large, encompassing, and deeply felt as it needs to be to do justice to its momentous subject." --Booklist (starred review) "Offers a panoramic view of the era and the decades leading up to it...Vollmann's prose is evocative and often lyrical, trailing down the page like free verse. . .To his credit, Vollmann is as interested in context and history as in storytelling...This massive novel is sometimes challenging, but ultimately rewarding." --Publishers Weekly (boxed review)

Synopsis
"The reading experience of a lifetime ..."-- The Washington Post The National Book Award winner takes readers inside the epic fighting retreat of the Nez Perce Indians In this new installment in his acclaimed series of novels examining the collisions between Native Americans and European colonizers, William T. Vollmann tells the story of the Nez Perce War, with flashbacks to the Civil War. Defrauded and intimidated at every turn, the Nez Perces finally went on the warpath in 1877, subjecting the U.S. Army to its greatest defeat since Little Big Horn as they fled from northeast Oregon across Montana to the Canadian border. Vollmann's main character is not the legendary Chief Joseph, but his pursuer, General Oliver Otis Howard, the brave, shy, tormented, devoutly Christian Civil War veteran. In this novel, we see him as commander, father, son, husband, friend, and killer. Teeming with many vivid characters on both sides of the conflict, and written in an original style in which the printed page works as a stage with multiple layers of foreground and background, The Dying Grass is another mesmerizing achievement from one of the most ambitious writers of our time., "The reading experience of a lifetime ..."-- The Washington Post The National Book Award winner takes readers inside the epic fighting retreat of the Nez Perce Indians In this new installment in his acclaimed series of novels examining the collisions between Native Americans and European colonizers, William T.

- i***s (163)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufGreat condition, clean no writing on it. Fast shipping, thank you!
- n***e (1419)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter Kaufshipped quickly and as described, thank you so much!!
- n***a (52)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufWhile I find the very sexually graphic opening ballet sequence objectionable, the staging overall is traditional, tasteful, and well done. This is also by far the best sung DVD version of the opera. Baritone Bernd Weikl and bass Has Sotin are glorious; tenor Spas Wenkoff has occasional upper register strain but is excellent overall. Gwyneth Jones is in far better vocal estate than usual at this stage in her career, and her dual Venus/Elisabeth is a tour de force. Colin Davis conducts ably.
