Hamlin Garland Bücher
Hannibal Hamlin Garland fing den Geist des amerikanischen Farmers mit unerschrockenem Realismus ein, wobei er tief aus seinen eigenen Erfahrungen auf den Farmen des Mittleren Westens schöpfte. Seine Erzählungen schildern lebendig das mühsame Leben, die anhaltende Widerstandsfähigkeit und die stille Würde derer, die das Land bearbeiteten und sowohl den unvorhersehbaren Naturgewalten als auch den harten wirtschaftlichen Realitäten der Zeit trotzten. Garlands Prosa wird für ihre authentische Stimme und ihr tiefes Mitgefühl gelobt und bietet den Lesern einen intimen Einblick in einen grundlegenden Aspekt der amerikanischen Identität. Sein Werk bleibt eine bedeutende Auseinandersetzung mit dem ländlichen Leben und der menschlichen Fähigkeit zur Ausdauer.
