About this product

Product Information

In twenty-two wonderfully articulate essays, Barbara Kingsolver raises her voice in praise of nature, family, literature, and the joys of everyday life while examining the genesis of war, violence, and poverty in our world From the author of High Tide in Tucson, comes Small Wonder, a new collection of essays that begins with a parable gleaned from recent news: villagers search for a missing infant boy and find him, unharmed, in the cave of a dangerous bear that has mothered him like one of her own. Clearly, our understanding of evil needs to be revised. What we fear most can save us. From this tale, Barbara Kingsolver goes on to consider the chasm between the privileged and the poor, which she sees as the root cause of violence and war in our time. She writes about her attachment to the land, to nature and wilderness, trees and mountains-the place from which she tells her stories. Whether worrying about the dangers of genetically engineered food crops, or creating opportunities for children to feel useful and competent - like growing food for the family's table - Kingsolver looks for small wonders, where they grow, and celebrates them.

Thank you! Shipping was very fast. It was dispatched very early the next business day after I ordered on a Sunday. It was protectively packaged. The CD was in the condition described. I am happy with the condition of the CD and the case and booklet were like new. The price was low. I had excellent communication. Buyers: I highly recommend this seller for their excellent service!

    Too Preachy!

    It was a book club choice, so I pushed my way thru. If it had not been for book club, I would have set it aside after the 2nd essay and probably never picked it up again. The writer came across with a very "know-it-all" attitude about everything. I found myself constantly questioning her presented facts and no easy way to check. Some of the essays in the middle and at the end were more interesting, but I'd say there are better books out there to read. In all fairness, there were members of my book club that loved it and agreed with everything she had to say.
