Краткое содержание
В орегонских лесах, на берегу великой реки Ваконды-Ауги, в городке Ваконда жизнь подобна древнегреческой трагедии без права на ошибку. Посреди слякоти, и осени, и отчаянной гонки лесоповала, и обреченной забастовки клан Стэмперов, записных упрямцев, бродяг и одиночек, живет по своим законам, и нет такой силы, которая способна их сломить. Каждодневная борьба со стихией и непомерно тяжкий труд здесь обретают подлинно ветхозаветные масштабы. Обыкновенные люди вырастают до всесильных гигантов. История любви, работы, упорства и долга оборачивается величайшей притчей столетия. На этой земле полутонов во множество, однако не бывает полумер и ничего невозможно сделать вполсилы.
