Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Death of a River Guide was called haunting and ambitious by The New York Times Book Review and a remarkable achievement by The Washington Post Book World.

He sees cities grow from the wild rain forest and a tree burst into flower in midwinter over his grandfather's forest grave. As the entirety of Tasmanian life -- flora and fauna -- sings him home, Aljaz arrives at a world where dreaming reasserts its power over thinking, where his family tree branches into stories of all human families, stories that ground him in the land and reveal the soul history of his country. A triumphant tour de force, a novel that succeeds brilliantly in its audacious design. -- Philip Gerard, The Raleigh News & Observer An enormous, intricate, intimate tapestry not only of the wilderness, but also of a family, an expansive tribal community. -- Michael Pakenham, The Baltimore Sun Ricard Flanagan's second novel makes good on a truly soaring ambition and flirts with literary greatness. -- Robert Cohen, Chicago Tribune.…
