A River Runs through It and Other Stories
Norman MacLean
This collection of Western American tales is centered around the pleasures of fly-fishing, logging, and family, but also includes colorful characters such as drunks, loggers, card sharks, and whores. Written by beloved author Norman Maclean, A River Runs through It and Other Stories was once rejected for "having trees in it," but has since become recognized as a classic. This newly redesigned edition features a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the Academy Award-winning film adaptation. Maclean's beautiful prose and understated emotional insights will introduce a fresh audience to his superb storytelling.

"I am haunted by waters"
It's from a River Runs Through it. A fabulous book. And the movie, Brad Pitt's first major motion picture, did it justice – sourceTotally influenced my life in terms of fly fishing and finding magic in words and that quiet space. – source
