ON a different note, if you’d like to read the poem, The Man From Snowy River (and I recommend it!), here it is with no frills. Now that he’s been to the museum at the Lake, Unger says, “The staff at Lake Cowichan Museum have done an excellent job to preserve the subtleties of local culture here [at Lake Cowichan] over time and through its emerging history. In 1919, Haggard sold Camp Haggard to James Dunsmuir, Vancouver Island coal magnate. That the manuscript survived hidden there in the attic garret is incredible. The manuscript is, in a way, like a final gift to the community from Lt.-Col. Andrew Haggard, that there yet remains a rare gem beneath our feet here in Cowichan.” Return from the River Kwai is a 1989 British film directed by Andrew McLaglen and starring Edward Fox, Chris Penn and Timothy Bottoms.

November 24th, 1962, was also the day sixteen-year-old Davy Land escaped from the Montrose County jail with a Houdini maneuver and vanish into thin air. It left eleven-year-old Reuben, and his eight-year-old autodidactic wonder kid sister named Swede speechless. For once. He was arrested for a double murder. Unger said, “I’ve been researching in archives for the better part of 30 years and seen a lot of documents but that one! As soon as I opened it, I thought: wow! This is exceedingly important, from both a literary perspective and a research perspective. I talked to the archivist at the University of British Columbia Special Collections and she fully confirmed that it provides exceedingly rare research value. A compass. The top of most maps is north and a compass can be used to find which direction north is.In 1962, single dad Jeremiah Land and his three children, Davy, Reuben, and Swede, live in Roofing, Minnesota. Jeremiah is a devout Christian who relies on divine guidance. Reuben, the story’s eleven-year-old narrator, believes his father performs miracles. He suffers from asthma and wonders why his father’s miracles have never cured him. After two bullies assault Davy’s girlfriend, kidnap Swede, and break into their house, Davy shoots them. He is arrested but escapes jail. The family and a federal agent pursue him to the Badlands of North Dakota. The case went to trial in 1997. Columbia argued that "if you use a name and it becomes famous you are able to use it in a certain area of commerce, such as the exclusive use of River Kwai in the title of a film. It does not matter where Pierre Boulle got the name." [6] The case of the film of the book of the bridge on the river that doesn't exist Gillard, Michael. The Observer27 July 1997: 003.

The middle course of the Niger River is navigable to small craft during high water as far downstream as Ansongo—some 1,100 miles (1,770 km) in all. Below Ansongo, 430 miles (690 km) downstream from Timbuktu, navigability is interrupted by a series of defiles and rapids. The river becomes navigable to small vessels again at Labbezanga—from which it flows into Niger—and continues to be navigable to the Atlantic Ocean. Navigation is seasonal, however, because of the fluctuations in the water level in the rainy and dry seasons. Wagmeister, Elizabeth (September 3, 2015).

The film is based on a 1979 factual book with the same name about a 1944 Japanese prisoner transport of 2,217 British and Australian POWs, who had been working as forced labour on the Burma Railway, building the bridge over the River Kwai. They were taken by railway to Singapore, and from there aboard two ships, Rakuyo Maru and Kachidoki Maru, destined for Japan. On 12 September 1944, both ships were torpedoed by US submarines, and 1,559 of the prisoners perished. [4]

Unger says he suggested the name "River Kwai" be translated into Thai ("Kwae Noi") and Tri-Star agreed, then changed their mind. Unger claims Tri-Star's decision not to distribute was motivated by the film's anti-Japanese content, which he says offended Sony, its parent company. The producer asked, "What other reason could there be in view of what has happened, when it has happened and the refusal to distribute under a different name a film that was to cost them nothing?" [2] Unger claimed he offered to change the film's name and attached a disclaimer denying any connection with the Spiegel film. (When released in the United Kingdom, the film carried a disclaimer that it was not related to or a sequel to the 1957 film.) [2]I love books that are told from the point of view of adolescents when the writer is able to tell the tale without being overly dismissive or have the character be overly clever. Reuben Land is as balanced and clueless as Scout Finch. His little sister, Swede, is more perceptive, and it is because Reuben tells us this story with all the honest he can muster that we know that. He wavers between what is right and what is wrong, as indeed we all do, and especially when the welfare of those we love is in our hands. He makes wrong decisions, right decisions, and costly ones, and we labor with him over what he should do and pray that he chooses well. We watch the decisions of others with the same kind of apprehension and come to understand that every man and woman, boy and girl, is making decisions every minute of the day and gambling that, in the end, something beyond and above us has control and will put things right.

Peace Like a River' is a book about the Land family: father Jeremiah and his children, Davy, Reuben and Swede. Reuben, all of 11 years old, is the narrator and events are described from his point of view. Simply put, Reuben's older brother Davy runs afoul of the law, which changes everything for them. And, yet, were I to put Goodreads to use as it was intended and "shelve" my favorites, you'd find no less than three novels in my Top Ten with faith/spirituality as a centerpiece: David James Duncan's sublime The Brothers K and The River Why and John Irving's simply transcendent A Prayer for Owen Meany. And, so, with the latest contender for a spot on my top ten, Leif Enger's stunner makes four novels with spirituality at their nexus.
