The trickster Coyote reroutes a river in a Native American tale. A set of stone steps at the shore of the Ganges bears witness to heartbreak in Rabindranath Tagore's 'River Stairs,' and Mark Twain floats his rebellious heroes on a raft to freedom. Kenneth Grahame's Rat and Mole explore their local waterway in a rowboat, and Ernest Hemingway's war-weary veteran finds peace while catching trout.\u003cbr\u003eFrom The Wind in the Willows to Huckleberry Finn, from Hemingway's 'Big Two-Hearted River' to Alice Munro's 'The Found Boat' and Zadie Smith's 'The Lazy River,' the tales collected here-by such luminaries as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Guy de Maupassant, E.M. Forster, Hermann Hesse, Zora Neale Hurston, Cormac McCarthy, Elif Shafak, and many more-set moving scenes against the backdrop of moving waters, in testament to the enduring power of rivers in the human imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardback | 352 pages | Published June 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64958137762141,"sku":"9781841596396","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781841596396.jpg?v=1781205951","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/river-stories","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
