關於產品

Product Information

In the winter of his 39th year, Robert Cherry, a journalist and the author of the definitive biography of an American sports legend (Wilt Chamberlain), made a return visit to Africa. His destination was the village in the Liberian rain forest where, fourteen years before, he had served as a Peace Corps Volunteer--the first American to live there. The result is Living Liberia, which introduces the reader to a charming, exotic and unforgettable land, although given Liberia's history it seems that God himself, at times, has forgotten it. The book evokes the author's special and enduring relationship with, and his sharp observations about, the country and its people, including Liberia's unique history--it was founded by freed American slaves; the challenges of living in a village for almost two years without electricity and running water and teaching with a principal who made up national holidays. Moreover, it depicts the education of a young American in tribal rituals, sexual mores and, not least, his encounters with a memorable gallery of African idealists and rogues. "Moving, funny and informative" is how one reviewer described the author's earlier work, fitting words as well for Living Liberia.

Reviews
Wilt: Larger Than Life "The definitive biography," according to Dick Schaap, renowned author and journalist, on his ESPN radio show. Dick Schaap was about to interview Robert Cherry. Cherry Delight: A Family Memoir: "Cherry Delight is the kind of book we would all write about our famlies, if we had the skill, wit and ability to do ancestral research possessed by Robert Cherry. His deft touch makes this story moving, funny and informative in a way one seldom sees in a memoir or family history." Chuck Kelly, author of Gunshot in Another Room"
