A propos de cet article

Octavo, russet cloth (hardcover), gilt letters and decorations to spine, 246 pp. Near Fine, with light foxing to page edges; in a Very Good dust jacket with darkened spine and light edgewear. From dust jacket: This tale of the sea and the simple people who live by it is a gentle, resonate tribute to the nature of love -- the love between man and woman, between daughter and father, between friends, the love of a man for the sea and for the land, for all the forces of Nature (including his own), for the pursuit of knowledge, and for those resilient bonds which hold one human being to another. Set in a small North American port and on a forty-foot ketch sailing across the Atntic, Maria begins as the ship leaves its harbor after a year's stay in the town. Its captain, Jahn, bears with him a packet of letters from the harbormaster's lame daughter, Maria Sullivan, to be opened and read one by one during the month-long voyage back to Europe. Through the letters, and through Jahn's recollections, Judge Bok unfolds the story of a love affair between the quiet seafaring man and the devoted daughter of a paralyzed father. Woven throughout the story of the loosening of old ties and the strengthening of new ones is the narrative of the small ship's fight against the elements, just as the simple patterns of life in Maria's harbor town are woven through the larger patterns of wind, sea, storm, and sun. Bringing a richness of understanding and a tenderness of masculine security to a woman reconciled to a life of physical limitations, Jahn becomes the center of her existence, moving slowly and naturally into the dominance previously held by her beloved father. In simple straightforward prose -- so suitable to these basic facts of human experience -- Judge Bok explores the relationships between the loved and the loving and, o doing, reveals that incandescent flame which nourishes human life throughout its trials, its sorrows, and its jubilant moments of happiness.
