BOOK
The Bridge of San Luis Rey: A Novel
Thornton Wilder
$20.00

About this product:

"On Friday noon, July the twentieth, 1714, the finest bridge in all Peru broke and precipitated five travelers into the gulf below." With this celebrated sentence, Thornton Wilder begins The Bridge of San Luis Rey, one of the towering achievements in American fiction and a novel read throughout the world.

By chance, a monk witnesses the tragedy. Brother Juniper seeks to prove that it was divine intervention rather than chance that led to the deaths of those who perished in the tragedy. His study leads to his own death -- and to the author's timeless investigation into the nature of love and the meaning of the human condition.

The Bridge of San Luis Rey is now reissued in this handsome hardcover edition featuring a new foreword by Russell Banks. Tappan Wilder has written an engaging and thought-provoking afterword, which includes unpublished notes for the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, illuminating photographs, and other remarkable documentary material. Granville Hicks's insightful comment about Wilder suggests an inveterate truth: "As a craftsman he is second to none, and there are few who have looked deeper into the human heart."

San Francisco is one of the three great mythological American cities. New York mythologizes money, Washington DC power and San Francisco freedom. Where else would 75,000 runners dress up as centipedes, pianos, six packs of beer and participate in a moving masquerade ball otherwise known as the Bay to Breakers Race. No other city welcomes and embraces so many world cultures and world lifestyles.

Visitors will experience a city uniquely rich in physical beauty and eclectic architecture. A perpetual spring climate graces this hilltop surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. In this city so geographically spectacular it will make you gasp, the only drawback is having to leave it.

Should you opt to travel by car, the Area road map will guide you to San Francisco International Airport or across San Francisco Bay to Oakland and Berkeley, California.
