Sinopse

In "Raw Material," Dorothy Canfield Fisher masterfully explores the nuanced interplay between industry and identity, weaving a narrative that captures the essence of American life in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly industrializing nation, Fisher's prose reveals her keen observational skill and lyrical style, offering readers a vivid portrayal of both individual characters and collective societal shifts. The novel delves into themes of self-discovery, social class, and the consequences of modernization, positioned within the literary context of realism and the emerging introspective modernist movement. Dorothy Canfield Fisher, an acclaimed novelist and fervent advocate for progressive social causes, drew upon her own experiences of rural life in Vermont and her observations of the changing American landscape. Her involvement in education and reform, combined with her passion for writing, fueled her desire to depict the struggles of ordinary people facing the complexities of their environment. This background provides an authentic depth to the characters and scenarios presented in "Raw Material," showcasing Fisher's commitment to social responsibility through literature. I highly recommend "Raw Material" to readers interested in understanding the intricate fabric of American society during a pivotal time in history. Fisher'Äôs insightful narrative offers a comprehensive insight into the human condition, making it a timeless exploration of resilience and adaptation in the face of change.

    Legendary bounty hunter Luke Jensen enlists the help of chuckwagon cook Dewey "Mac" McKenzie in a deadly manhunt—but ends up neck-deep in an even deadlier range war . . .Dewey "Mac" McKenzie doesn't have much of an appetite for bounty hunting. Before he was a cook, Mac had a price on his head—and bounty hunters on his tail. Nowadays, he'd much rather be stewing beef over an open fire than opening fire on another man. Then he met Luke Jensen, bounty hunter extraordinaire. As a favor to his new friend, Mac agrees to join Luke on the trail of a wanted fugitive. A trail that leads them deep into Oregon timber country—and smack dab in the middle of a brewing war . . .The trouble starts in a saloon, a knuckle-busting brawl between the loggers from Pine Knob and some cowboys from a nearby ranch. When the ruckus turns bloody, Luke and Mac join the fray. Funny thing is, Luke takes the side of the ranchers while Mac teams up with the loggers. Which works out in their favor. By splitting up, they can now search for the fugitive in both groups at the same time. Mac steps in as the loggers' new cook, while Luke joins the cowboys at the Triangle 7 Ranch, where this feud first ignited—and is getting hotter by the day. For Luke and Mac, that means stepping out of the frying pan—and into the gunfire.

    Jazz-age Paris was the center of the artistic and literary world, and the center of the center was Gertrude Stein's salon, where the famous and aspiring creative talents gathered to gawk at Stein's Picassos and vie for status. Young Midwesterner Ida Caine arrives in Paris with her husband Teddy, a would-be Hemingway who thinks he can adventure first and write later. When Teddy falls in with the Stein set, he brings Ida to the salon, where she is shunted into a corner with the wives of famous men. She burns with resentment and wonders if she can ever develop into a real artist herself. A few days later, Gertrude Stein's partner Alice B. Toklas vanishes. Stein calls upon Teddy to investigate. Soon after, he vanishes. Forced to seek out her missing husband, Ida follows his trail through a milieu including strange Surrealist rituals, Tarot card readings, and the catacombs beneath the city. She falls in with a young American poet, T. S. Eliot. An unlikely passion grows while they seek answers to the shocking disappearances.
