I recall not understanding what this book was really about, but also just letting the words flow enjoyably past me. ( ) Video review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNIfzaql1gc Interesting exploration of what is holy, what is good, what is certain. Didn't love the style, but there were a couple of lines that hit perfectly for me. Worth the short investment of time, most definitely. Reread: 2023 - Still not a huge fan, but I enjoyed it more, this time as an exploration of what part of spirituality the humans play for themselves... from a Christian perspective as the eternal son, working to understand the mystery of the holy spirit, while trying to contain frustration at the father. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In 1975 Annie Dillard took up residence on an island in Puget Sound in a wooded room furnished with "one enormous window, one cat, one spider and one person." For the next two years she asked herself questions about time, reality, sacrifice death, and the will of God. In Holy the Firm she writes about a moth consumed in a candle flame, about a seven-year-old girl burned in an airplane accident, about a baptism on a cold beach. But behind the moving curtain of what she calls "the hard things -- rock mountain and salt sea," she sees, sometimes far off and sometimes as close by as a veil or air, the power play of holy fire. This is a profound book about the natural world -- both its beauty and its cruelty -- the Pulitzer Prize-winning Dillard knows so well. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
