Sinopse

In "The Cassowary; What Chanced in the Cleft Mountains," Stanley Waterloo masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the intricate interplay between man and nature, set against the breathtaking backdrop of a remote mountainous region. The book unfolds as an adventure tinged with philosophical musings, showcasing Waterloo's vivid prose and keen observations of the natural world. Through rich descriptions and immersive storytelling, he captures the essence of the landscape while interrogating themes of survival, isolation, and the indomitable spirit of exploration framed within the late 19th-century American literary context, where nature often served as both a setting and a character in its own right. Waterloo, an American author embedded in the literary movements of his time, was known for his penchant for adventure and exploration, both of which permeate this work. His deep appreciation for nature's majesty and mystery likely stemmed from his own experiences with the wilderness, as he spent considerable time in various landscapes, fostering a connection that becomes palpable in the narrative. This context enriches the reader's understanding of the motivations behind the characters' journeys and the existential inquiries that emerge amidst their challenges. I highly recommend "The Cassowary" to readers who appreciate richly textured narratives that delve into the human condition intertwined with nature. This book will resonate with those who seek both the thrill of adventure and contemplative reflections on humanity's place in the world, making it an essential read for fans of American literature and nature writing alike.

    The Wildbird family has dedicated themselves to wildlife protection for generations. This passion turns mission when a politically potent hunter slays two family members. These brutal murders demand revenge. Distinctive retaliation, guided by family elders, generates a new religion. An illicit enterprise linking Yellowstone to Glacier National Park becomes their single-minded creed in honor of the slain.  
    This distinctive reprisal bolsters the Wildbird’s quest to build their illicit wildlife corridor, unwittingly subsidized by Montana state taxpayers. As a diversion from the largest land grab in modern history, Wildbird’s vigilante riders attack and expose unlawful hunters. Stolen in the dead of night, vehicles, weaponry, and clothing disappear. Media news outlets cover the raids humiliating the shameless predators. Most notable, and being whisked away by a National Guard helicopter, is the naked Secretary of the United States and Governor of Montana. Privileged, these two men are hunting out of season. 
    Embarrassed, POTUS sends the Department of Interior’s best wildlife undercover agent to investigate. Sam the Seeker must determine what’s behind the raid after unearthing a string of elusive clues.

    An Indian writer has come to Berlin as a visiting professor. This is his second sojourn in the city, which seems strange, and also strangely familiar, to him. 
     
     
     
    Faqrul, a friendly Bangladeshi poet living in exile, takes him up—then disappears. The visiting writer is increasingly adrift in a city that not long ago was two cities, each cut off from the other, much as the new unified city is cut off from the divided one of the past. 
     
     
     
    To him, the new world of the twenty-first century, with its endless commodities from all over the place and no prospect of any sort of historical transformation, appears to exist in a state of amnesiac suspense. He gets involved with a woman, Birgit. He begins to miss his classes. He blacks out in the street. People are worried. 
     
     
     
    Amit Chaudhuri's Sojourn is a dramatic and disconcerting work of fiction, a book about the present as it slips into the past, a picture of a city and of a troubled mind, a historical novel about an ostensibly post-historical time, a story of haunting. Here, as in his earlier work, Chaudhuri pries open fictional form to explore questions of public and private life in ways that are both bold and subtle.
