Sinopse
Wallace Earle Stegner was an American historian, novelist, short story writer, and environmentalist. His novel, The Spectator Bird , won the National Book Award in 1977. The main character, Joe Allston, is seventy years old, living with his wife Ruth, and finds himself growing bored and bitter. Then he receives an unexpected postcard from an old friend. This causes him to return to the journals he kept from a trip taken long ago to search for his mother’s roots in Denmark. What follows is a quest to discover more about the noble Danish family he uncovers, along with revealing secrets regarding eugenics and incest that the family uses to produce a breed of superior humans. A breathless, psychological experience most brilliantly written.
