Description

This classic-feeling adventure tale from Newbery-winning author Dave Eggers (The Eyes & the Impossible) is an evocative tale of a boy and his sword, and how giving away something precious leads to an even more important discovery.

Lucian’s father called them faraway things, those mysterious objects orphaned upon the windswept shore, their stories long lost in the shroud of ocean fog. Lucian’s discovery on the beach this particular day, though, is no ordinary faraway thing. It’s a cutlass: strong, shiny, and powerful. As its history comes to light, Lucian faces a choice: cling to the sword he loves or accept a gift that shines farther, wider, and deeper than he could have ever dreamed.

Stunningly illustrated with evocative art by Kelly Murphy and written by award-winning and bestselling writer Dave Eggers, here is a profound and resonant tale about the reward of letting go.

Dive into the historical depths of 19th-century Germany with Christoph Lorenz's "Der Nelkenzchter. (German Edition)," a captivating glimpse into a bygone era, meticulously reprinted by Wentworth Press in 2018. This hardback edition, spanning 114 pages, offers a richly detailed portrait of clove cultivation and its societal impact, all presented in the original German language. While details about Lorenz himself are scarce online, his work provides invaluable insights into the economic and agricultural practices of his time. "Der Nelkenzchter," which translates to "The Clove Grower," likely explores the nuances of this specific agricultural pursuit, delving into the techniques, challenges, and rewards associated with cultivating cloves. Clove cultivation, historically a significant industry in various parts of the world, offers a lens through which to examine broader themes of trade, labor, and social structures within 19th-century German society. This German language edition caters to readers interested in German history, agricultural history, and those seeking to improve their German language skills through classic literature.

The books very existence suggests a level of importance and interest in clove cultivation at the time of its original publication, making it a fascinating primary source for historians and enthusiasts alike.
