Über dieses Buch

Complete and unabridged, with 59 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, Winslow Homer and Thomas Moran. Two prospectors find a cabin in a fold of the California hills with a woman in it and no explanation, and the arrangement they come to shapes the next fifteen years. Harte made the gold rush into literature and gave America its gamblers and its snowbound cabins; this late novel is quieter than the famous stories and harder about what the camps did to the women in them. Fifty-nine plates spanning 1832 to 1923, from Bierstadt's western lakes and Hudson views to Munch's old men, give the foothills and the camps a visual life the story only implies.
