Country of Strangers
Conrad Richter

Schocken, 1987

A companion novel to The Light in the Forest
Like in his classic novel "The Light in the Forest," Conrad Richter's "A Country of Strangers" takes the reader back in time to the colonial America of 1764 when the Indians were forced to give back all their white captives in order to ratify a peace treaty with the ...
  
  











  



  
The Town: Third Book In Awakening Land Trilogy
Conrad Richter

Ohio University Press by arrangement w/ A.A. Knopf, 1991

Wonderful historical fiction with an authentic sound.
"The Town" is the final chapter in Conrad Richter's "Awakening Land" triology, and it concludes the saga of Sayward Wheeler and her family as they finish turning the Ohio wilderness into a bustling city. The triumphs and tragedies of the Wheeler family are not any ...
  
  











  



  
The Trees: First Book In Awakening Land Trilogy
Conrad Richter

Ohio University Press, 1991

Discover Older Literature
If you are looking for something good to read, you might want to try this older American Literature by Conrad Richter, The Trees--what a great story. I have really enjoyed this, and it helped that years ago I had seen the film of The Awakening Land, so it was easy to ...
  
  











  



  
Sea Of Grass
Conrad Richter

Ohio University Press, 1992

Deceptively simple chronicle of a forgotten time
"The Sea of Grass" is a simple story masterfully told by Conrad Richter. No other writer can match Richter's ability to capture the spoken word of a region or particular time period, or equal his aptitude in turning a simple chain of events into powerful story ...
  
  











  



  
The Light in the Forest
Conrad Richter

Vintage, 2004

No Heroes Here
I just completed reading this to my pre-teen kids, who enjoyed the story and who became particularly engaged as the complexity of the moral drama intensified in the final two chapters. There are many reviews on this page that summarize the plot, and I won't repeat ...
  
  











  



  
Fields: Second Book In Awakening Land Trilogy
Conrad Richter

Ohio University Press, 1991

Intensity Again
Richter loses no time establishing THE FIELDS as a direct and strong descendant of THE TREES. With no time wasting, he recreates the forest and Sayward's battle against the "big butts," those mammoth trees blocking out the sun. Her relationship with her man, Portius ...
  
  











  



  
THE LIGHT IN THE FOREST
Conrad Richter

Bantam Books, 1963

Beautiful Appreciation and Conflicting Values
Author Conrad Richter presents a paradox rich with American tradition, values, and beauty. The characters are archetypes of forgotten cultures and the events are ethereal visions of the past. Still Richter weaves this tale with vivid details that captivate readers ...
  
  











  



  
The Waters of Kronos
Conrad Richter

Pennsylvania State University Press, 2003

Much better than I expected!!
I am currently reading, as I get to them, the winners of the National Book Award which I haven't yet read. This book won the 1961 award and I found it an eerily moving book, which really caught me up after I read for a bit. It tells of John Donner revisiting his ...

183 page paperback published by The Albatross in 1947.
  
  











  



  
The Awakening Land
Conrad Richter

Alfred A. Knopf, 1966

Wonderful miniseries, wonderful book
I just finished reading "The Awakening Land: The Trees, The Fields, The Town." I had to get on a waiting list at the library (and they had to borrow it from another library). I can't figure out why there aren't several copies in every library. I saw the miniseries ...
