Adam, Christina

SUMMARY

Medieval bestiaries were instructional works gathered from the fables and tales told by travelers. They described beasts and fish and fowl that few had ever seen. For the characters in Christina Adam's Any Small Thing Can Save You, each animal that passes through their world reflects a measured truth about love-between a husband and wife, a child and a parent, a brother and sister, at a moment of danger or discovery.Like the richest classical paintings, the entries in this engaging bestiary treat those unexpected moments when we are suddenly awakened from our daily routines, surprised and restored by the beauty of the natural world and our capacity for love within it. Any Small Thing Can Save You casts a wise eye on the kinds of simple intimacies we all long for, and on the truest opportunities for real salvation.Artfully designed, Any Small Thing Can Save You is truly a gift.Adam, Christina is the author of 'Any Small Thing Can Save You: A Bestiary' with ISBN 9780399149139 and ISBN 0399149139.
