Written in the 1930s this novel is a tale of the lumber barons who razed the forests of norther Wisconsin in the early 1900s. The tale is of the life of a lumber jack, Barney Glasgow, a handsome man who marries money. It follows the fortunes of his family through several generations in Butte des Morts where the very wealthy lumber and paper mill families lived. With foresight, Ferber addresses some of the questions of conservation, pollution, and workers rights that are still being debated today. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Originally published in 1935, this is Pulitzer Prize winner Edna Ferber's sprawling novel of Wisconsin's logging days, when fortunes--and families--were made and broken over king lumber. Barney Glasgow, who had fought his way up from chore-boy in the lumber camps of Iron Ridge to lumber king of Wisconsin, is fifty-three and has much reason to be content when the granddaughter of his old friend, Swan Bostrom, disrupts his life. But destiny provides an ironic escape from folly, and Barney's son carries on the story--a story which was to end in those fatal months that closed the year 1929. Rich with the vibrant qualities of life itself, this is more than the story of Barney Glasgow and his children. It is the story of lumber, and the story of the making and breaking of a fortune, during one of the most fascinating periods in the history of Wisconsin, and of the nation.
