Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. FINDING A FRIEND. T ASPER did not take long to get from the harbour to the .J little village of Charlton, then a quiet place out in the fields, now a populous suburb of the great thriving town of Dover, with its thirty thousand inhabitants. The leather case was light on his shoulder, for was it not a case of books ? and Jasper had such respect for learning, that to be allowed to fetch and carry for a student was happiness enough for him. As he passed the tiny church on his way to the Rectory he heard a low murmur, and turning back he saw that the door was open. He turned into the low dark church and felt at once the atmosphere of peace and calm which reigned within. Cool and refreshing to both body and spirit, he gave himself up to that quiet influence. The Rector's voice was saying Evensong. There was no choir, no acolyte, no pomp or show of any sort or kind, for the ancient worship had been shorn of all its outward glory, but the voice went on in simple majesty, a protest against hurry and worldliness. Jasper was naturally a devout lad, but he had been hurried and excited by all the strange scenes he had witnessed, and he scarcely entered into the spirit of the service, for his thoughts were in a whirl, but he felt soothed and quieted.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →From National Book Award in Fiction finalist Andrew Krivak comes a gorgeous fable of Earth’s last two human inhabitants, and a girl’s journey home In an Edenic future, a girl and her father live close to the land in the shadow of a lone mountain. They possess a few remnants of civilization: some books, a pane of glass, a set of flint and steel, a comb. The father teaches the girl how to fish and hunt, the secrets of the seasons and the stars. He is preparing her for an adulthood in harmony with nature, for they are the last of humankind. But when the girl finds herself alone in an unknown landscape, it is a bear that will lead her back home through a vast wilderness that offers the greatest lessons of all, if she can only learn to listen. A cautionary tale of human fragility, of love and loss, The Bear is a stunning tribute to the beauty of nature’s dominion. Andrew Krivak is the author of two previous novels: The Signal Flame, a Chautauqua Prize finalist, and The Sojourn, a National Book Award finalist and winner of both the Chautauqua Prize and Dayton Literary Peace Prize. He lives with his wife and three children in Somerville, Massachusetts, and Jaffrey, New Hampshire, in the shadow of Mount Monadnock, which inspired much of the landscape in The Bear.
