Er stroomt een rivier doorheen
'In gelijke mate een vissershandboek, een literair meesterwerk en spirituele gids' - The New York Times Het werk van Norman Maclean handelt over het leven in de bosachtige natuur van Montana en de houthakkerskampen en wachtposten van de United States Forest Service, waar hij als adolescent werkte in bosbouw en brandbestrijding. In Er stroomt een rivier doorheen portretteert hij zijn vader, Presbyteriaans dominee en hoofd van een gezin waarin ‘geen duidelijke scheidslijn tussen religie en vliegvissen' bestond, én zijn broer, krantenjournalist Paul. Een waar kunstenaar met de hengel was hij, maar ook iemand die zichzelf met drank, vrouwen en gokken steevast en steeds dieper in de nesten werkte. Maclean roept de schoonheid en de subtiliteiten van het vliegvissen even krachtig op als de bewondering, het (on)begrip en de machteloosheid die de relatie tussen die drie mannen kenmerken. In proza dat soms laconiek, soms lyrisch en altijd wijs klinkt. Met een nawoord van Paolo Cognetti: 'In mijn ogen was het een inwijdingstekst die ontcijferd diende te worden: hij gaf voor over forellen te gaan maar stond in feite vol basislessen over het schrijven van verhalen.'

A River Runs Through It and Other Stories
One of the most beloved works of fiction of the late twentieth century, a book that has been handed down from reader to reader, parent to child, friend to friend, for generations When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of A River Runs through It and Other Stories to New York publishers, he received a slew of rejections. One editor, so the story goes, replied, "it has trees in it." Forty years later, the title novella is recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of a long life of often surprising rapture--for fly-fishing, for the woods, for the interlocked beauty of life and art--A River Runs through It has established itself as a classic of the American West. This new edition will introduce a fresh audience to Maclean's beautiful prose and understated emotional insights. Elegantly redesigned, A River Runs through It includes a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the Academy Award-winning 1992 film adaptation of River. Based on Maclean's own experiences as a young man, the book's two novellas and short story are set in the small towns and mountains of western Montana. It is a world populated with drunks, loggers, card sharks, and whores, but also one rich in the pleasures of fly-fishing, logging, cribbage, and family. By turns raunchy and elegiac, these superb tales express, in Maclean's own words, "a little of the love I have for the earth as it goes by."

Young Men and Fire
Twenty-five years after its first publication, Young Men and Fire is read avidly by students of literary nonfiction for its blend of hard-earned research, memoir, and an old man's wisdom. It tells one of the most infamous stories in the history of wildland firefighting: On August 5, 1949, a crew of fifteen of the United States Forest Service's elite airborne firefighters, the Smokejumpers, stepped into the sky above a remote forest fire in the Montana wilderness. On the ground, they were joined by a local fireguard. Two hours after the jump, all but three of the men were dead or mortally burned. For forty years, Maclean was haunted by these deaths. And for the last years of his life, he struggled to write a book that would put back together the scattered pieces of the Mann Gulch disaster and to give it the dignity of tragedy. The result is both the definitive account of what happened to the Smokejumpers on that remote Montana mountainside in 1949, and the narrative of a writer's quest for meaning in the face of elusive facts and the waning energies of old age.

A River Runs Through It
From its first magnificent sentence, "In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing," to the last, "I am haunted by waters," A River Runs through It is an American classic. Based on Norman Maclean's childhood experiences, A River Runs through It has established itself as one of the most moving stories of our time; it captivates readers with vivid descriptions of life along Montana's Big Blackfoot River and its near magical blend of fly fishing with the troubling affections of the heart. This handsome edition is designed and illustrated by Barry Moser. There are thirteen two-color wood engravings. "A masterpiece. . . . This is more than stunning fiction: It is a lyric record of a time and a life, shining with Maclean's special gift for calling the reader's attention to arts of all kinds--the arts that work in nature, in personality, in social intercourse, in fly-fishing."--Kenneth M. Pierce, Village Voice "Wise, witty, wonderful, Maclean spins his tales, casts his flies, fishes the rivers and woods for what he remembers of his youth in the Rockies."--Barbara Bannon, Publishers Weekly "Maclean's book is surely destined to be one of those rare memoirs that can be called a masterpiece. . . . Earthy, whimsical, authoritative, wise; it touches the heart without blushing and traces lasting images for the eye. . . . This book is a gem."--Nick Lyons, Fly-Fisherman
