Beautiful Appreciation of Life

- The Memory of Old Jack
- De: Wendell Berry
- Narrado por: Paul Michael
Amazing story of a bygone age, revealing great courage, character, and heart wrenching wrestling with the vicissitudes of life.

I loved the walk through a lifetime of this one old man’s journey through hardship and suffering to the development of great character, in the company of the whole spectrum of characters we’ve come to know and love in Port William and it’s surroundings through Wendell Berry’s marvellous stories. Each of them is so vivid in their descriptive power, journeying through a whole gamut of emotions, from elation through sorrow and grief to hard earned compassion and satisfaction and Joy. But I think this book has had a particular impact in the way that Old Jack was able to turn tragedy and grief into something powerful and meaningful.

"Ignorant boys killing each other," is just about all Nathan Coulter would tell his wife about the Battle of Okinawa in the spring of 1945. Life carried on for the community of Port William, Kentucky, as some boys returned from the war while the lives of others were mourned. In her seventies, Nathan's wife, Hannah, now has time to tell of the years since the war.

Values from the past
Revisado: 07-15-21
One Wendell Berry’s masterful series of Fort William novels, this one follows the life of Anna Coulter growing up into a farming community, marrying twice, and raising a family of children, most of whom leave for the city, while the story ends with the return of a ‘lost’ grandchild. But what makes this book precious
Is the affirmation of country values which once built a solid foundation, seemingly lost in the modern search for “something better”. Some of the most powerfully moving chapters of the book deal with the horrors of war and the terrible impact it has on it survivors.
