STORM - GEORGE R STEWART KARTONIERT (TB)

A thrilling  innovative novel about the interplay between nature and humankind by the author of
Names on the Land. With Storm  first published in 1941  George R. Stewart invented a new genre
of fiction: the eco-novel. California has been plunged into drought throughout the summer and
fall when a ship reports an unusual barometric reading from the far western Pacific. In San
Francisco  a junior meteorologist in the Weather Bureau takes note of the anomaly and plots an
incipient little whorl on the weather map  a developing storm  he suspects  that he privately
dubs Maria. Stewart s novel tracks Maria s progress to and beyond the shores of the United
States through the eyes of meteorologists  linemen  snowplow operators  a general  a couple of
decamping lovebirds  and an unlucky owl  and the storm  surging and ebbing  will bring
long-needed rain  flooded roads  deep snows  accidents  and death. Storm is an epic account of
humanity s relationship to and dependence on the natural world.
