The essential book for travelers and lovers of America

This book is not an input to confession. Far from it. The author of "Call of the Wild" is not one to look back over his shoulder and even less regret the time spent. It is not those who say before. This magnificent work, exceptional book, offers lovers of the trip and America who returns from a time (these letters were written between 1908 and the Great Depression) the face of an exceptional pen juggles few dollars that his art gives him, and taught by very strong words, sometimes surprising, the life he leads his two daughters Joan and Beckie, to heal his inner child. A father that only the book holds on to a difficult life and where the example for his daughters is always present. But no agreed sadness, on the contrary, full of sense and nonsense skin deep affection, which has nothing démotionnelle and already spun in his "White Fang" and especially the great "Martin Eden". A unique book that far from mediocre biography, Live opens the heart of a man in search and struggle to become better ... what he is trying to give and offer his two daughters. Figure it ... (wrote Paul Eluard). In any case, a magnificent opus served by a publisher that does not skimp on the quality of the object, because a book is always a close friend and not only letters sliding on a reading light, it was a wonderful light shelf decorated dune apple; because the wonderful invention can not deprive us of fragrances paper and ink: sweat the writer. To offer in this end from year.
