The Good, Bad, and the Tragic

This is Don's third book of adventure tales. But unlike his first two books, The Idling Bulldozer and The Seventy-Thousand Dollar Outhouse, which focused exclusively on kayaking, the tales in this volume go beyond kayaking to include adventures on the land and in the air, finally ending with a tragic story that gives the book its name. Through these stories, the author has shown that adventures are not vacations, that sometimes things can and do go wrong, and that they may even end in tragedy. This is a powerful and immersive collection of stories which take the reader on a journey through the excitement and tragedies of new adventures.

Aceasta este a treia carte de aventuri a lui Don. Dar, spre deosebire de primele sale doua carti, Buldozerul nefunctional si Latrina de saptezeci de mii de dolari, care s-au concentrat exclusiv pe caiac, povestile din acest volum depasesc limita practicarii caiacului, incluzand aventuri pe uscat si in aer, incheindu-se in final cu o poveste tragica ce da numele cartii.
