Autor Thomas Whartonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 oct 2021
First published in 1995, Wharton's Icefields is an astonishing historical novel set in a mesmerizing literary landscape, one that is constantly being altered by the surging and retreating glacier and unpredictable weather. Here--where characters are pulled into deep chasms of ice as well as the stories and histories they tell one another--is a vivid, daring, and crisply written book that reveals the human spirit, loss, myth, and elusive truths.

Notă biografică
Thomas Wharton Thomas Wharton was born in Grande Prairie, Alberta, a northern Canada oil and gas boomtown. He spent much of his youth moving from town to town, and settled for a few years in Jasper, Alberta. The small town so influenced Wharton that he set his debut novel, Icefields, there. After a variety of jobs -- including hiking guide, bookstore clerk, lab technician, and technical illustrator -- he set his sights on writing. Receiving his M.A. in English from the University of Alberta in 1993, Wharton turned his thesis into his first novel, Icefields. NeWest Press published his debut in 1995 in his native Canada, where it received critical acclaim, and hit local bestseller lists. Washington Square Press, a division of Pocket Books, published the U.S. edition of Icefields on September 9, 1996.
Wharton is currently working on his Ph.D. in English at University of Calgary. He lives with his wife and two small children.
