Produktinformationen zu „Watch With Me (ePub)“

This volume of six linked stories and the novella from which the book derives its title is set in Port William from 1908 to the Second World War. Here Wendell Berry introduces two of his more indelible and poignant characters, Ptolemy Proudfoot and his wife Miss Minnie, remarkable for the comic and affectionate range that-with the mastery of this consummate storyteller working at the height of his powers-here approaches the Shakespearean.

Tol Proudfoot is huge, outsized, in the tradition of the mythic. The three-hundred-pound farmer, personally imposing and unkempt, is also the most graceful of presences, reserved and gallant toward his tiny wife, the ninety-pound schoolteacher.

Their contrasts are humorous, of course, and recall the tall tales of rural Americana. In the novella Watch with Me, we are given a story of such depth, breadth, and importance it earns being listed as one of the most important short stories written in the American language during the twentieth century.

"Wendell Berry writes with a good husbandman's care and economy . . . His stories are filled with gentle humor."
¿The New York Times Book Review

"Berry is the master of earthy country living seen through the eyes of laconic farmers . . . He makes his stories shine with meaning and warmth."
¿The Christian Science Monitor

"A small treasure of a book . . . part of a long line that descends from Chaucer to Katherine Mansfield to William Trevor."
¿Chicago Tribune
