Eclipse I Call Father

Ona balmy night in May 1970, David Axelrod vowed to allow no one and nothing he loved to pass from this life without praise, even if it meant praising the most bewildering losses. In these fourteen essays Axelrod delivers on that vow as he ranges across topics as diverse as marriage, Old English riddles, and the effects of climate change.

Intr-o noapte placuta din mai 1970, David Axelrod a promis ca nu va permite nimanui si nimic din ceea ce i-a placut sa treaca din aceasta viata fara laude, chiar daca aceasta a insemnat laudarea celor mai uluitoare pierderi. In aceste paisprezece eseuri, Axelrod indeplineste acel juramant pe masura ce se intinde pe subiecte la fel de diverse precum casatoria, ghicitorile englezesti vechi si efectele schimbarilor climatice.
