This collection—harvest of a lifetime of brilliant reportage and reflection—brings together the most memorable biographical pieces John Hersey has written over the past fifty years.

Kennedy as he related to Hersey the dramatic story of PT 109, to Private John Daniel Ramey and his efforts to overcome illiteracy with the help of the U.S. Army, and Jessica Kelley, an elderly widow trapped in a buckling tenement as the 1955 Connecticut floods raged outside.

Cina, anni Venti del secolo scorso. Un giovane ingegnere americano discende in giunca lo Yangtzee per individuare il luogo dove costruire una diga. Lo accompagnano il proprietario e comandante dell’imbarcazione, la sua giovane moglie Su-Ling, il cuoco di bordo e il capo squadra detto Old Pebble. L’ingegnere conosce un po’ di mandarino, e mentre navigano con fatica tra le correnti impetuose del fiume, ascolta le leggende sulle terre che attraversano, raccontate da Su-Ling e al contempo ammira la forza e l’autorevolezza con cui Old Pebble guida la sua squadra e l’assoluto disinteresse per il denaro che sembra dimostrare. D’altro canto non riesce a non pensare come la superiorità della tecnologia occidentale faciliterebbe la navigazione, risparmiando fatica e sofferenze agli uomini che manovrano la giunca, che però dal canto loro, sembrano fieri di compiere alla perfezione gesti appresi e perfezionati in un’esperienza millenaria. Ma il fragile equilibrio che sembrava essersi creato tra i membri dell’equipaggio, viene messo a dura prova in un drammatico incidente di navigazione…

6 agosto 1945. Hiroshima venne distrutta dalla prima bomba atomica mai caduta su una città.

Come conseguenza indiretta, pochi giorni dopo, il Giappone riconobbe la propria sconfitta e la Seconda Guerra Mondiale si concluse.
