Doerr explores the human condition in all its varieties--metamorphosis, grief, fractured relationships, and slowly mending hearts--conjuring nature in both its beautiful abundance and crushing power. Some of the characters in these stories contend with hardships; some discover unique gifts; all are united by their ultimate deference to the ravishing universe outside themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439190050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Anthony Doerr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36650954129564,"sku":"9781439190050","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e09d8f7e-75a0-4bb9-848d-03995760e7b0.jpg?v=1603876477","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-shell-collector-stories-9781439190050","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
