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--\u003ci\u003eA River Runs through It\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eElegantly redesigned, \u003ci\u003eA River Runs through It \u003c\/i\u003eincludes a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the Academy Award-winning 1992 film adaptation of \u003ci\u003eRiver\u003c\/i\u003e. 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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norman MacLean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022647559X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226475592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 1.00d","brand":"Norman MacLean","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621640122623,"sku":"9780226475592","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-river-runs-through-it-norman-maclean-9780226475592","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
