Synopsis :

Fall in love with one of the bestselling novels of all time -- the legendary love story that became a beloved film starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep.

If you've ever experienced the one true love of your life, a love that for some reason could never be, you will understand why readers all over the world are so moved by this small, unknown first novel that they became a publishing phenomenon and #1 bestseller. The story of Robert Kincaid, the photographer and free spirit searching for the covered bridges of Madison County, and Francesca Johnson, the farm wife waiting for the fulfillment of a girlhood dream, The Bridges of Madison County gives voice to the longings of men and women everywhere -- and shows us what it is to love and be loved so intensely that life is never the same again.

� propos de l'auteur: Robert James Waller lived on a remote ranch in the high-desert mountains of Texas, where he pursued his interests in writing, photography, music, economics, and mathematics. He was the New York Times bestselling author of The Bridges of Madison County, which was adapted into a film starring Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood and also as a successful Broadway musical, and Thousand Country Roads. He died in his home at age 77.

Paperback. Etat : Used. Ah, "The Bridges of Madison County," a title that promises to whisk you away on a romantic escapade through the heart of Iowa, all while lurking ominously under the shadow of a rather mundane bridge. One can almost hear the reverberating echoes of heartstrings being tugged, yet one must ask: is this a love story, or merely a chance encounter framed within a landscape dotted with bridges that are no more than glorified crossings over rivulets? Published in 1992 by Warner Books, it?s a quintessential product of its time, replete with all the melodrama you?d expect from a tale about adult choices and fleeting moments of passion?if one can indeed label it as such. Picture this: a lonely housewife in a sleepy Midwestern town, feeling the monotony of her everyday life like a persistent fly buzzing around her ear. Enter the mysterious photographer: a man whose allure sounds suspiciously like that of a vintage cologne advertisement. He?s rugged, artistic, and probably has a collection of berets. What could possibly go wrong? Or rather, what could possibly go right, given the weight of societal expectations and good old-fashioned guilt? If you?ve ever found yourself wondering about the existential crises triggered by a single, ill-timed encounter, this book might just hit the sweet spot of your ironic literary whims. Yet, as you ponder the depths of the human experience, you might also question the very nature of love itself. Is it worth risking the stability of life as we know it to chase ephemeral moments that flicker like the flame of a candle on a stormy night? Or is this just a glorified tale of a woman who got lost in nostalgia? Ah, the complexities of choice! One is forced to confront the age-old question: is it more romantic to find true love or to possess a house that doesn?t resemble a set from a low-budget soap opera? The prose in "The Bridges of Madison County" flits around like a butterfly, landing briefly on profound insights before fluttering away to bask in the sunlight of glorified self-doubt. Chapter by chapter, readers are treated to a collage of emotions wrapped snugly in the constraints of mundane life. The book invites you to consider a range of thrilling possibilities, such as: What if I threw away my carefully constructed life for a single afternoon rendezvous? Can love grow in the underappreciated soil of a roadside diner? Is that a metaphorical bridge to the future, or simply a convenient place to park the car? How many times can one person sigh dramatically before it begins to lose its effect? Are the characters in this book merely a reflection of my own questionable decisions? Condition: Used, of course, because what book of this caliber wouldn?t bear the marks of a life well-read? Expect dog-eared pages, the potential for some writing in the margins (perhaps a heart with ?JM + KL? scrawled within), and that delightful smell of aged paper?akin to a well-loved leather armchair. This volume has obviously been cherished, or at the very least, tolerated through some existential crises as its previous owner grappled with the very thoughts that you too might be contemplating! So, if you find yourself yearning for an exploration of dashed hopes and unfulfilled dreams, or simply wish to revel in a whimsical, slightly cynical take on love?s fleeting nature, "The Bridges of Madison County" could be just the ticket. Not to mention, it?s available at Crappy Old Books, where we take pride in gathering literary treasures that are both quirky and tired, much like our own romantic endeavors. Whether you are revisiting this classic or experiencing it for the first time, consider it a chance to muse over the possibilities and misadventures of love while simultaneously judging?or celebrating?your own life choices. Happy reading! THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N� de r�f. du vendeur 659
