In this brilliant, labyrinthine second novel, a drowning man named Aljaz Cosini is granted visions of his family history stretching into the distant past--even as he revisits his final days along the remote and treacherous Franklin River. Richard Flanagan's protagonist has been away from Tasmania for the last decade. Sick, lonely, and financially strapped, he returns to his hometown and soon runs into an old colleague known as Pig's Breath, who offers him a low-paying stint as a river guide:
I can see that Pig's Breath knows Aljaz well enough to see that Aljaz desperately wants to visit the Franklin River country, that there is a need in him, which Pig's Breath does not have, to go back there, and that this is his only way of doing it. And while Aljaz sits there trying to look as if he is chewing over numbers, Pig's Breath can tell that what he is in fact doing is smelling the river, hearing it run, watching the rain mists rise from its valleys, drinking its tea-coloured waters from his cupped hands.
Flanagan (The Sound of One Hand Clapping) has been compared to Faulkner for his loving attention to place, but his narrative talents are more akin to those of Günter Grass. There are echoes of The Tin Drum in the picaresque tale of Aljaz's emergence from the womb, wrapped in the caul that suggests second sight. Throughout, a series of similarly magical occurrences lends sparkle, if little illumination, to these hardscrabble lives in the Tasmanian wilderness. All of which goes to explain why Death of a River Guide is an unusually rich novel, and one of Australia's most distinguished literary exports in recent years. --Regina Marler
Book Description
Death of a River Guide was called "haunting and ambitious" by The New York Times Book Review and "a remarkable achievement" by The Washington Post Book World. It confirms Richard Flanagan's place among the world's most remarkable voices. Aljaz Cosini is leading a group of tourists on a raft tour down Tasmania's wild Franklin River when his greatest fear is realized -- a tourist falls overboard. An ordinary man with many regrets, Aljaz rises to an uncharacteristic heroism, and offers his own life in trade. Trapped under a rapid and drowning, Aljaz is beset with visions both horrible and fabulous. He sees Couta Ho, the beautiful, spirited woman he loved, and witnesses his uncle Reg having his teeth pulled and sold to pay for a ripple-iron house. He sees cities grow from the wild rain forest and a tree burst into flower in midwinter over his grandfather's forest grave. As the entirety of Tasmanian life -- flora and fauna -- sings him home, Aljaz arrives at a world where dreaming reasserts its power over thinking, where his family tree branches into stories of all human families, stories that ground him in the land and reveal the soul history of his country. "A triumphant tour de force, a novel that succeeds brilliantly in its audacious design...." -- Philip Gerard, The Raleigh News & Observer "An enormous, intricate, intimate tapestry not only of the wilderness, but also of a family, an expansive tribal community." -- Michael Pakenham, The Baltimore Sun "Ricard Flanagan's second novel makes good on a truly soaring ambition and flirts with literary greatness." -- Robert Cohen, Chicago Tribune

Moving.......2007-07-08
This story made me cry more than any other. Flanagan breaks many "rules" of creating writing, which is to his credit. He tells a story without a plot. The characters were not attracting. He gives away the ending. But, he uses a delivery method of fantasy to tell a truth of the human condition. Brilliant! This is a book about loss, injustice, and suffering, with smatterings of love and tenderness. Beautiful. A most powerful scene takes place in a bar where Flanagan captures the heart and soul of what makes music so dramatic and driving for both musician and listener. This is not a happy book, just great literature. I read this after reading his "The Unknown Terroist," another good one with the same themes.
Between a rock and a wet place.......2003-06-24
Richard Flanagan has an almost unexcelled capacity to weave historical threads into his fiction. In line with many writers of the Australian scene, he deftly conveys his awareness of the Aborigine condition in this story. Despite his name, Aljaz Cosini, born far away in Trieste, yet manages to return to his ancestral homeland. Ancestral roots bear little, if any, sway on our monotheistic world. In other cultures, however, forebears are the foundation for existence, a tradition widespread and of extended duration. Flanagan's awareness of that cultural milieu is forcefully portrayed in this story of a man's final living moments.
Flanagan's method is subtle. We mourn for the drowning guide as the story opens. His fate is clearly inescapable. Strangely, he condemns neither his situation nor the river that is taking his life. The attitude is far from fatalism, however. His circumstance is opening a new realm of Aljaz' awareness. As he confronts the inevitable, Aljaz comes to perceive his ancestral roots. Visions arrive of events he could not have witnessed, yet bear no skein of fabrication nor the supernatural either in Aljaz' mind or in Flanagan's depiction of them. There are no deities or spirits here. Aljaz resents that at first - "visions ought be given you by divine beings, not ... marsupials and their mates". Yet these visions are events from the reality his ancestors experienced. They are also of those real people - his father, grandmother, and most importantly, his former girl friend and the child they lost. Flanagan accepts the Aborigine view of children - love them intently, but if they are lost, long-term grief is too debilitating a luxury. The white world didn't understand this view when they first encountered it, and it remains enigmatic even now. Aljaz meets death calmly after a tormented life, but it's not release from suffering he gains, but a fuller understanding of who he really is. He is joining with a lost heritage.
Describing Flanagan's style as "powerful" is frail praise. "Formidable" might be something of a start. This is not a book to rush through, or if done, one to turn back to again. Flanagan wants to confront you with the realities of history and become aware of the long-term effects of lack of cultural awareness. These aren't lessons acquired at one sitting. He knows there are deeply set roots underlying behaviour and this book is attempt to reveal some of these to us. He has accomplished this effort with vivid imagery and exemplary characterisation. We must applaud his effort with enthusiasm. [stephen a. haines - Ottawa, Canada]
unique.......2002-07-20
perhaps i found this book enjoyable because i have been a river guide and also because i enjoy magical realism. the sense of time and space throughout this book captures not only a family history but the essence of a river itself, and being caught up in it. as i began reading, i found myself hating the main character for his apathy towards his own life. i resented that i would have to wait until the end of the book for him to finally end his miserable existence and drown. but then as i read on i wasn't so sure what i wanted for the main character. a very satisfying read.
A vivid narrative of utter despair........2001-04-11
Aljaz Cosini, a Tasmanian river guide, is trapped under water, his body wedged between rocks in the Franklin River, into which he has dived in an effort to save a reckless rafter. "I have entered the realm of the fabulous, of hallucinations, for there is no way anybody stuck drowning could experience such things," he thinks, as many generations of his family history pass through his mind. As this remarkable narrative unfolds, it alternates between Aljaz's dying, first person memories of his family's past and his objective, third person observations about life in contemporary Tasmania. Through Aljaz's memories, the reader learns the sad history of the island, a former penal colony for the most hardened criminals, the site of total genocide for the aboriginal natives, a remote colony with little hope and no tolerance for differences. A bright boy, Aljaz himself has intentionally failed everything in school, because "by failing, Aljaz begins to fit in with people...there is a camaraderie amongst the ranks of the fallen....They expect to be failed, to be unemployed, to be pushed around, to know only despair."
This is a story of abject hopelessness, the misery of Aljaz's family continuing through the four or five generations we meet during Aljaz's final moments and culminating in Aljaz's own predicament. The author does not even hold out the hope that Aljaz himself will be rescued, choosing to confirm the death in the book's title, before the reader even opens the book. What unites the generations (and keeps the reader going) is the clear and abiding respect for nature we see throughout the book--for the power of the river, for the unique animals of the island, for the stories and myths of the old people--and the belief that there is a unity of man and nature. And Aljaz experiences the ultimate unity with nature in his death in the river, as he becomes one with the sea eagle who "carries the spirits of the ancestors."
The characters one meets in this book are memorable, as they survive the best way they can. The tales of nature and the mystical moments that Aljaz experiences are vivid and uplifting, a fitting contrast to the reality of life. The action on the river is realistic and exciting, and there is a thematic unity which connects the generations of the past with the action in the present. It may be self-defeating, however, to create a novel in which the reader is asked to become personally involved with a main character whose death is foretold from the outset. Though that confirms and reinforces the point the author is making about the hopelessness of Aljaz's life, it certainly makes this novel a depressing ride for the reader.
A great novel about life on Tasmania's Franklin River........1998-01-12
I was interested to read this first novel by Richard Flanagan after reading his acclaimed novel "The Sound of One Hand Clapping". In going back to this earlier work I wanted to see if he was pursuing similar themes and if the writing was as compelling. It was. Here again was a master storyteller at work who refuses to release the reader until the last page has been read and the reader held in the grip of an idea that the broken in spirit will be redeemed.
This story of a man drowning beneath a waterfall provides the canvas to explore the emotional history of his family and by extension the emotional history of his island state, Tasmania.

Not worth the money.......2007-07-19
I was disappointed with this book. There appears to be no organization and the information does not appear to be accurate. I expected much more and this book did not deliver.
Collector's Encyclopedia of Pendant and Pocket Watches.......2007-04-08
My 22 year old son is starting a collection of pocket watches and he has enjoyed this book. He uses it when he goes online to fine new treasures.
It helps him know what to look for.
Nice book !!!.......2005-08-22
Great pictures,but I have aspected more from this book about movement's and calibres explanation.If you have just started to collect pocket watches,than this book is for you.If you need some details for movements and calibres you will be at the start of your expertise !!!
Nice photos with little substance.......2005-08-19
Here's an example of a book that should never have been produced. The author is obviously misinformed and quite frankly, ignorant, regarding watches. The book is riddled with incorrect information regarding watch descriptions, including blatantly wrong jewel counts, movement descriptions, and the repititious "very fine and rare", "fine and lovely", "very fine and very rare", ad nauseum. The author constantly includes "micrometric regulator" in descriptions of pocket watches, that have NO micrometric regulators! The book is attractive, and has some excellent photographs, but, at best, this is a book that needed an author with some watch "smarts".
A very good overview of watches development.......2005-03-02
The book is divided in 5 chapters, each one covering one century of watch development. Each chapter deals with case, movement and decorative procedures development. In the end of each chapter you will find a full range of color fotos of watches of that period. The pictures are very beautifull, but not unique: you will find them in The Sandberg's Watch Collection Book. I think that the book should earn just 3 stars, just because it does not have "unique" pictures. However, the pictures were unique for me, since i don't have sandberg's book.
Book Description
Max Quick was a very strange little boy indeed... But even he didn't suspect how strange -- until Time itself stops the world over. Now, he must unravel an ancient mystery drenched in magic Books, the lost Sumerian civilization, a curious rogue planet in our own solar system, and a bizarre, slushy nether-time called 'the Pocket'. Racing desperately now against a clock that can no longer tick, Max struggles to recover a potent artifact known only as the Pendant. Yet, the closer he and his companions come to recovering it, the more they realize that their own true identities may yet sweep them into the machinations of the very adversaries they fight against...
Customer Reviews:
Could use a good editor.......2007-05-17
Like many of the reviews for this book, I found it very imaginative and fairly enjoyable, but a good editor would really have helped smooth out its rough spots. I guess that's one of the risks of self-publishing.
Only after I purchased the book did I realize it was intended to be a series. (I usually avoid series until they are completed.) But fortunately, my worst fear (that it would end inconclusively or in a cliff hanger) was not realized. There is ample opening for further stories, but you won't be left hanging. (Though I found the ending a bit rushed.)
The fact that the story wraps itself up is especially important because it appears that the author has abandoned his efforts: for an internet entrepreneur, his book-related websites are all largely defunct.
- [...]- His myspace page mentions a second book "coming summer 2006" and the comment section is filled with months of spam.
Imaginative and unique.......2006-12-28
The Pocket and the Pendant by Mark Jeffrey is an illustrative example of fresh and innovative reading that the facility of Print-on-Demand (POD) publishing makes possible. This is a highly imaginative story that is solidly written and would make a good gift for the tweens on the list. Writer Mark Jeffrey earns the title author through skills obviolusly honed by authentic dedication in telling this innovative tale.
Not quite there..........2006-03-16
"The Pocket and the Pendant" is a book with potential. It attempts to take the various Ancient Astronaut theories, specifically those of Sumerian and Egyptian origin, and condense them into a solid mythology, providing a setting for the young protagonist Max Quick and his companions to adventure in. There are a lot of interesting ideas here, and Mark Jeffrey is clearly a good guy to muss theories with.
Unfortunately, his writing skills don't match his thoughts, and the book never reaches its potential. The characters, 12-year old Max Quick and his equally young friends Casey and Ian, talk in exposition rather than conversation, never sounding like humans much less children. There is very little character development, and the story never come alive. The characters are just there to be mouth pieces for the Ancient Astronaut theories, and that is the majority of the dialog. There are also some basic errors in the science in the book, such as the supposition that humans are the only animal that laughs.
And while self-publishers deserve all respect, a good editor could have made some necessary changes to the flow of the book and overall presentation. There are some distracting choices, such as an extreme overuse of italics and very small print, that makes for some tough reading.
Hopefully Jeffrey will keep writing, but get an editor to help with the pacing and other story choices. Max Quick and his companions do have potential, and it would be nice to see that reached.
Imagination run wild!.......2006-02-23
I found "Pocket and the Pendant" a fun read!
While I felt that it was geared more for young adults, I still found it quite an enjoyable read! If you listen to Coast to Coast AM or are familiar with the works of Zacariah Sitchin (did I spell that right?), you would find this enjoyable to read as well.
Definitely a good read for kids and adults alike!
Myths & Meadows.......2006-02-09
Taken from my review in Myths & Meadows Fanzine, Feb 2006:
"Mr. Jeffrey clearly has an imagination that runs deeper than most of the surface-dwelling fantasy entries on store shelves today. The beauty of The Pocket And The Pendant is that the complexity presented will entertain a more mature audience while the simplicity of the lead characters will keep fans of Harry Potter style fantasy turning the pages."
Book Description
Historically and visually, this is the most exciting volume on pocket watches that every has been compiled. 915 photographs of old and newer styles show the development clearly, and the text explains the mechanisms and manufacturers. The chapters present detailed discussions of watch movements, escapements, striking movements, dials, and cases. Then, a chronological organization of examples shows pocket watches of international origins dating from about 1150 to the present models.

Gigantic scale combined with small human moments..........2000-11-29
A series of short stories, each dealing with a specific era in the human development and future histoy. Alldis is known in his intelligent and philosofic works and this one is not only keeping those high standarts , but stands out as a wonderfull, imaginative story of our race , millions of years into the future. super recommended. enjoy.
One of those books you never forget.......2000-08-28
I read this book as a teenager, and then many other times. It's a story of mankind spanning millions of years. This book is one-of-a-kind, for the gigantic scale on which is projected, the bold imagination, the long silences between flashes of history that let yor mind fascinated for the untold but imagined. And there is a subtle sadness for those million lives, their joys and despairs... but always life flourishes in unexpected ways. Reading this book is like looking at the sky in a clear night and wondering at the immense universe.
The history of how mankind eventually did itself in........1998-10-15
An excellent Aldiss book. It annnotates the history of mankind as told by its replacement. Telling the tale like a geologist would - using million, billion, thousand, and hundred year increments - Aldiss shows how man is the perfect seedling for populating the universe as well as the ultimate vehicle for its self-destruction. Man ruins the Earth, leaves Earth for the stars, tackles the problems of time travel through an intergrated form of speech-like alchemy, rediscovers a still populated Earth but does not belive it to be the Earth of myth, renames Earth as there are already hundreds of planets in the universe laying claim to that distinction, unifies the universe, institutes galactic warfare as a necessary economical device, and destroys the universe in a truely unique battle against man's successor. Time is the constant, and Aldiss makes us aware that we are just a silly soap opera for the infinate to enjoy for but a minute or two.

Book Description
The warm, complex aroma of a fresh-baked loaf of bread can be utterly tantalizing; the first bite, a revelation. In Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques and Recipes, award-winning master baker Jeffrey Hamelman presents the definitive, one-stop reference on the art and science of bread baking - a kitchen essential for seasoned home bakers and professionals alike. Hamelman, a professional baker for nearly three decades, was a member of the United States national baking team that won first place in the 1996 Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie, the bread-baking World Cup. Here, he shares this experience, putting world-class artisanal loaves within reach of any serious baker. Opening with a comprehensive overview of the foundations - essential ingredients; hand techniques for kneading, scoring, and shaping; the basic process from mixing through baking - he lucidly guides bakers through all elements of this richly rewarding craft.
Bread contains 118 detailed, step-by-step recipes for an array of breads: versatile sourdough ryes; breads made with pre-ferments; and simple, straight dough loaves. Recipes for brioche, focaccia, pizza dough, flat breads, and other traditional baking staples augment the diverse collection of flavors, tastes, and textures represented within these pages. From the delicate flavor and aroma of classic French baguettes to the mellow smoothness of Roasted Garlic Levain, a bread for every season and every palate is here.
Each recipe clearly outlines the key stages, with easy-to-use charts that list ingredients in both American and metric measures, quantities appropriate for home baking, and baker's percentages. Hundreds of drawings vividly illustrate techniques, and 35 handsome color photographs display finished breads. Sidebars accompany each recipe and section with valuable tips, from the subtle art of tasting and evaluating breads to the perfect fare to complement Vollkornbrot. A complete chapter on decorative breads - with instructions on techniques as well as a wide variety of exquisite patterns - will inspire magnificent display creations.
Laced throughout the book, Hamelman's personal narratives offer a compelling portrait of a lifelong love affair with bread and vividly communicate this passion. For bakers seeking to finesse this time-honored craft or simply to learn the tricks of the trade from a real master, Bread is a resource to be consulted time and time again.

Makes baking bread easier!.......2007-09-17
One of my friends asked me about helping her make a different kind of bread - I usually bake my grandmother's Greek bread and my family really loves it - I also make it in wheat bread for my brother and sugar free versions - but had not gone beyond that - Bread takes you into many recipes and gives you regular and metric measurements as well as quantities for large batches and a few loaves - It helps you learn how to knead, and how to fashion, braid breads to make them beautiful.
I learned to knead bread the hard way - after having some breads that felt like hockey pucks, I finally got the hang of it and make a mean bread.
If you enjoy that wonderful aroma of bread baking, you will enjoy this book. It is a great price on Amazon - many cooking catalogs sell it for its entire suggested price -
A must for any bread baker .......2007-09-01
I have been baking bread 30+ years and didn't know what I didn't know about bread and why it does what it does under certain conditions. I love this book. Not your typical cook book. Doesn't just give you recipes and lets you take a stab at baking. It tells you the history of bread and what you can do to make it absolutely wonderful. I thought I knew a lot about baking bread. Never had a complaint, but with this book and some of the tricks, my bread is so much better. Now I can't bake enough and I had trouble keeping my baking urges at bay before.
An excellent book for a bride to be.
ONE OF THE BEST BREADBOOKS.......2007-08-23
I am a professional baker/patissier with a special interest in flavorful, traditional bread and the methods to make it. I can wholeheartedly say , taking into consideration the price, the layout and the content of this book, that it is probably the best breadbook around. 'The taste of bread' by Raymond Calvel is also an excellent book but with a triple price tag. Another good book (actually a series) is 'Special and decorative breads' although beginners will find it a bit difficult to follow.
All in all Mr Hamelman has presented us with an excellent source of information on the preparation and baking of bread and other baked goods. Unlike other breadbooks, he is using a variety of methods to achieve good results and upper and foremost in his procedures is consistency of the product and taste. Most books care more about doing bread the easy way. That is how to make bread that looks good, fast. To the knowlegable this is bread that looks good, tastes bland and is stale by the next day. Also, very few books explain the reason or logic behind each step in the recipe. Not so here. Even though I am a professional I learned quite a few new things just by flipping casually through the book. When I started reading it I started finding out many tips and methods that have improved my skills and techniques. The explanations are thorough and precise, the information abundant, the recipes clear and flavorful. I particularly like the tables that are dispersed throughout. Some are for troubleshooting, others for comparison and others for extra information. Their usefulness cannot be overstated.The style of writting is so easy that even a person with no knowledge on the subject can find his way through and acquire theoretical skills that they can put to practice. I only wish I had this book when I was learning to be a baker.
I live in Cyprus (Europe) and many of the products included in the book are European. The methods and end products are consistent with the best one can find in the Old World. Another aspect of the book that I like is that it has temperatures both in Celsius and Fahrenheit and quantities are in both Metric and Imperial, as well as in percentage formulas. Rarely has an American book such sensitivity towards the non American consumers.
For all the above a very well deserved 5 star rating.
Not really for the home baker.......2007-06-12
This seems like quite a good book with a lot of important information. For me it has been a great disappointment as the total majority of that information is oriented towards a professional bakery operation rather than for a home baker such as myself who prefers to knead by hand. So for the home baker i'd give 2 stars. For a professional baker operating in large volumes, 5 stars...
Another disappointing factor has been the fact that this book doesn't have any recipes with 100% whole grain which is my personal preference... I am getting this book for which I read some good reviews on the net: The Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book: A Guide to Whole-Grain Breadmaking.
Happy baking!
Finally, a book by a real baker!.......2007-05-17
I have been obsessed with bread baking for a few years now and have read loads of books on the ins and outs of getting bread to rise and turn out consistently. This is one of the best.
Mr. Hamelman has been baking bread his entire career. He is not a pastry chef who wrote a bread book. That said, his explanations of why you should do each step and how to calculate amounts, if you want to modify things to your liking, are clear and invaluable. The recipes are wonderful. He describes everything from how to get the best flavor out of white flour to how to cultivate, nurture and utilize rye sourdough starter. The breads I have made from this book have been really quite delicious and rival or exceed the most expensive loaves from the stores.
The only downside to this book is that it could be said to be written more for professionals than for home bakers. A lot of the breads should be baked with steam, and that is hard to do at home. Nonetheless, I guess it is better to try to duplicate the effect of a steam oven at home than to ignore the recommendation altogether and miss out on what could be a real improvement in taste and texture.
