Beschreibung

"e;Dazzling. . . . In glittering prose, Momaday recalls stories passed down through generations, illuminating the earth as a sacrosanct place of wonder and abundance. At once a celebration and a warning,Earth Keeperis an impassioned defense of all that our endangered planet stands to lose."e;EsquireA magnificent testament to the earth, from Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and poet N. Scott Momaday.One of the most distinguished voices in American letters, N. Scott Momaday has devoted much of his life to celebrating and preserving Native American culture, especially its oral tradition. A member of the Kiowa tribe, Momaday was born in Lawton, Oklahoma and grew up on Navajo, Apache, and Peublo reservations throughout the Southwest. It is a part of the earth he knows well and loves deeply.InEarth Keeper,he reflects on his native ground and its influence on his people. When I think about my life and the lives of my ancestors,"e; he writes, "e;I am inevitably led to the conviction that I, and they,belongto the American land. This is a declaration of belonging. And it is an offering to the earth. In this wise and wonderous work, Momaday shares stories and memories throughout his life, stories that have been passed down through generations, stories that reveal a profound spiritual connection to the American landscape and reverence for the natural world. He offers an homage and a warning. He shows us that the earth is a sacred place of wonder and beauty, a source of strength and healing that must be honored and protected before its too late. As he so eloquently and simply reminds us, we must all be keepers of the earth.
