Mowat, Farley Aftermath: Travels in a Post-War World
Stackpole Books 2006 0811733386 / 9780811733380 Paperback Fine n/a Paperback
New. Fine in publisher's decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.In 1953, Mowat (Never Cry Wolf), who had been a soldier in the Canadian army, returned to see the France and Italy he had known only under wartime conditions. He relates how he and his wife, Frances, bought a car in England and drove through both countries, where he was astonished to be welcomed as a returning war hero. Savoring scenes both familiar and changed, the couple avoided tourist centers, sought out quiet places and relished local histories, architecture, landscapes and, above all, the regeneration of people who had put their wartime suffering behind them. Among his memorable discoveries, Mowat recalls the little pottery commune in an Italian seacoast cave near Positano where, without modern technology, the craftsmen and their families lived and worked, taking pleasure in ancient methods of refining and working clays; and, farther along the road, a fishing village where the fishermen limited their catches to what they and their neighbors could eat to avoid overfishing and thus preserve an age-old way of life for their children. Although time must now have changed much of what Mowat found, this is a disarmingly upbeat and gracefully written memoir. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.From Booklist: Canadian writer Mowat, perhaps best known for Never Cry Wolf, agreed in 1952 to write a history of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment. His memoir reflects back on an ensuing tour of Europe taken with his wife, where together they retraced much of the ground Mowat knew intimately from serving with that regiment during the war years. Writing with a gentle yet affecting resonance, Mowat reveals the suffering endured by many of the individuals he encounters during their travels through the English countryside and in France and Italy. The account is by turns sobering and moving as Mowat relates the exploits of French resistance fighters and visits Italian sites where memories of battle are stirred and recalls atrocities. In this replaying of the effects of war on ordinary folks, the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity is revealed over and over again. Alice Joyce --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
