Journey. James A. Michener. (Usado)

Descripción

James A. Michener, one of the premier novelists of our era, has swept us from the dawn of time to the far reaches of space. Now, with the same astonishing authenticity and dramatic excitement, he takes us to a frenzied period of history, when sane men and women risked their very lives in a forbidding Arctic land to seek a dazzling and elusive prize: Klondike gold.

Gold fever swept the world in 1897. The chance for untold riches sent thousands of dreamers from all walks of life on a perilous trek toward their fortunes, failures, or deaths. Here, we are immersed in the searing adventures of four English aristocrats and their Irish servant as they misguidedly haul their dreams across cruel Canadian terrain toward the Klondike gold fields.

With its probing insight into the follies and grandeur of the human spirit, JOURNEY is a vivid, sweeping novel, the kind that only James Michener can write.
