O tym produkcie
Product Information
In 2005, Steven Rinella won a lottery to hunt for a wild buffalo, or American bison, in the Alaskan wilderness. One of only four hunters that year who succeeded in killing a buffalo, he carried the carcass down a snow-covered mountainside and floated it four miles down a white-water canyon while being trailed by grizzly bears and suffering from hypothermia.Through this experience, Rinella found himself contemplating his own place among the 14,000 years' worth of buffalo hunters in North America and the place of the buffalo in the American consciousness. American Buffalo is a narrative tale of that hunt. But beyond that, it is the story of the many ways in which the buffalo has shaped our national identity. Rinella takes us across the continent in search of the buffalo's past, present, and future: to the Bering Strait Land Bridge; to buffalo jumps, where Native Americans ran buffalo over cliffs by the hundreds; even to the Bronx Zoo, where legend has it a depressed buffalo served as the model for the American nickel. Rinella's erudition and exuberance, combined with his gift for storytelling, make him the perfect guide for a book that combines outdoor adventure with history, science, and the natural world. And yet it also tells us as much about ourselves as Americans as it does about the creature who perhaps best of all embodies the American ethos.

Reviews
"Here is a wonderful young writer that everyone should know about. Steven Rinella is exciting, adventurous, technically gifted, honest, funny-a great new voice in American nonfiction." -Ian Frazier, author ofGreat Plains,On the Rez, andThe Fish's Eye, "This is some of the best writing on our great national beast since George Catlinand that was in 1841. A real triumph." Bill McKibben, authorThe Bill McKibben Reader "This is a big-game hunting story like no other: Steven Rinella is in search of an animal, quite literally. But also historically, existentially, and maybe even spiritually. Follow him on this curious armed quest and, like him, you will quickly find yourself immersed in the fate of our mightiest and most talismanic beast." Hampton Sides, author ofBlood and Thunder "Steven Rinella'sAmerican Buffalois a boldly original and ultimately refreshing book. It is also fearsome and occasionally frightening, and one wonders if the author is quite mad. There are insights into nature and American history here that will be totally unfamiliar to the reader." Jim Harrison, author ofReturning to EarthandLegends of the Fall "Steven Rinella goes places and does things the rest of us don't, and that is something to be grateful for, becauseAmerican Buffalois like no other book you've ever read. It's a gripping adventure story, a funny and moving memoir, and a flat-out fascinating biography of one of the most cherished and elusive figures in our national mythology. This book will make you see America with fresh eyes." Benjamin Wallace, author ofThe Billionaire's Vinegar "Here is one of those rare books that make you feel larger, smarter, and entirely exhilarated for having read them. Steven Rinella's lens on the world is entirely his own, as is his grace on the page.American Buffalois an achievement through and through." Deirdre McNamer, author ofRed Rover "Moving and downright funny. . . Rinella writes with authority about the process of turning a living creature into steak, and easily renders an enormous amount of historical and scientific information into a thoroughly engaging narrative." Publishers Weekly(starred review) "Here is a wonderful young writer that everyone should know about.
