River gods and nymphs frolic in Ovid's mythic telling. The trickster
Coyote reroutes a river in a Native American tale. A set of stone steps
at the shore of the Ganges bears witness to heartbreak in Rabindranath
Tagore's ‘River Stairs,’ and Mark Twain floats his rebellious heroes on
a raft to freedom. Kenneth Grahame's Rat and Mole explore their local
waterway in a rowboat, and Ernest Hemingway's war-weary veteran finds
peace while catching trout.
From The Wind in the Willows to Huckleberry Finn, from Hemingway's ‘Big
Two-Hearted River’ to Alice Munro's ‘The Found Boat’ and Zadie Smith's
‘The Lazy River,’ the tales collected here―by such luminaries as
Harriet Beecher Stowe, Guy de Maupassant, E.M. Forster, Hermann Hesse,
Zora Neale Hurston, Cormac McCarthy, Elif Shafak, and many more―set
moving scenes against the backdrop of moving waters, in testament to
the enduring power of rivers in the human imagination.
