About this product
Product Information
The exquisitely crafted stories in Anthony Doerr's acclaimed debut collection take readers from the African coast to the pine forests of Montana to the damp moors of Lapland, charting a vast physical and emotional landscape. Doerr explores the human condition in all its varieties-metamorphosis, grief, fractured relationships, and slowly mending hearts-and conjures nature in both its beautiful abundance and crushing power. Some of his characters contend with tremendous hardship; some discover unique gifts; all are united by their ultimate deference to the mysteries of the universe outside themselves.

Reviews
Elwood Reidauthor of Midnight Sun and What Salmon KnowBeware, each story in this wide-ranging collection conjures whole haunted worlds. With drop-dead precision Anthony Doerr's well-wrought stories demonstrate a command far beyond his years. The Shell Collector is nothing less than a monstrously assured debut., Elizabeth Gilbertauthor of Stern MenAnthony Doerr is a gifted and fearless new writer. He is absolutely unafraid to take on the biggest themes of the human condition, always writing about heroes and their various epic journeys. The Shell Collector is unforgettable -- not so much a book of short stories as a book of short myths., Andrea Barrettauthor of Ship Fever and Servants of the MapThese complex, resonant, beautifully realized stories sing. An entire world unfolds in each, memorable and rich; together, they form a remarkable first collection., Tom Franklinauthor of PoachersAnthony Doerr's The Shell Collector is, quite simply, amazing. Not since Rick Bass's The Watch has a first collection roamed so far in both language and landscape, presenting the natural and humanmade worlds with equal beauty and awe. These daring stories just about define longing, but their people never give up., Rick Bassauthor of Where the Sea Used to BeAnthony Doerr is a wonderful new writer. His stories reach deep and mine the forgotten places, as well as the never-before-discovered. These stories don't just observe beauty, they help create it.
