Butcher's Crossing
About This Novel
Another masterpiece by John Williams, author of "Stoner". The difference from "Stoner" is that he wants to understand the reality of the world. They are both a story about perseverance in the face of meaninglessness, about failure caused by naivety. Unlike Stoner, who sticks to his faith, this is a young man who is passionate and curious about the unknown, eager to seek the real world: what he believes in is not the belief of Emerson and Thoreau, but the seeing behind it - except for wilderness and experience, nothing is more sincere and charming than the inner impulse. At the same time, he is the same as Stoner in a sense, they have achieved self-realization. Perhaps, each of us has this kind of impulse and passion, which has made us who we are today. A deep meditation on the young mind. The author John Williams said that when a young man who dropped out of Harvard came to the West and saw nature and the true appearance of the wilderness, what would happen to him? This is where the novel begins. "Butcher's Crossing" tells the story of Andrews, a young man who dropped out of Harvard in 1873. Influenced by the natural concepts of Emerson and Thoreau, he came to Butcher's Crossing with the urge to find beauty, hope and vitality, and followed the hunter Miller and two others (Schneider the skinner and Charlie Hogg, who worked with the camp) into the Colorado mountains to hunt bison. Each of them embarked on this uncertain journey with different purposes and ideas. They experienced many difficulties and even lost one person's life. They returned to Butcher's Crossing Town, but earth-shaking changes had taken place here...
