Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

In the Time That Was And There Was Light, ACHOOK of the Chilkats told me these tales of The Time That Was, But before the telling, he of the Northland and I of the Southland had travelled many a mile with dog-team, snowshoes, and canoe. If the stories suffer in the telling, as suffer they must afar from that wondrous Alaskan background of mountain and forest, glacier and river, wrenched from the setting of campfires and trail, and divorced from the soft gutturals and halting throat notes in which they have been handed down from generation to generation of Chilkat and Chilkoot, blame not Zachook, who told them to me, and forbear to blame me who tell them to you as best I may in this stiff English tongue. They were many months in the telling and many weary miles have I had to carry them in my memory pack. I had lost count of the hours, lost count of the days that at best are marked by little change between darkness and dawn in the Northland winter, until I knew not how long I had lain there in my blanket of snow, waiting for the lingering feet of that dawdler, Death, to put an end to my sufferings.

�valuation du vendeur 4 sur 5 �toiles

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the Raven, Yaeethl, a trickster god who steals the Sun, Moon, and Stars from the Wise Man and brings light to the world. The story is told from the perspective of an unnamed narrator who is a white man adopted into the Ravenâ� �s family by Zachook, an old Indian storyteller. The author uses vivid imagery and an ancient, often poetic, style to bring the myths to life. Through the tales of Yaeethl, the author explores themes of greed, trickery, and the consequences of actions. The book also delves into the nature of storytelling, the importance of knowledge, and the power of words. The stories are filled with humor and wit, but also profound insights into the human condition and the role of myth in our understanding of the world. The book provides a unique perspective on the mythology and folklore of Indigenous cultures, offering a glimpse into a world where the natural world is imbued with powerful spirits and the boundaries between humans and the divine are blurred. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781451019926_0
