River gods and nymphs frolic in Ovid''s mythic telling. The trickster Coyote reroutes a river in a Native American tale. A set of stone steps at the shore of the Ganges bears witness to heartbreak in Rabindranath Tagore''s ‘River Stairs,’ and Mark Twain floats his rebellious heroes on a raft to freedom. Kenneth Grahame''s Rat and Mole explore their local waterway in a rowboat, and Ernest Hemingway''s war-weary veteran finds peace while catching trout.From The Wind in the Willows to Huckleberry Finn, from Hemingway''s ‘Big Two-Hearted River’ to Alice Munro''s ‘The Found Boat’ and Zadie Smith''s ‘The Lazy River,’ the tales collected here—by such luminaries as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Guy de Maupassant, E.M. Forster, Hermann Hesse, Zora Neale Hurston, Cormac McCarthy, Elif Shafak, and many more—set moving scenes against the backdrop of moving waters, in testament to the enduring power of rivers in the human imagination.
