Böcker av Arnold J. Bauer

Provides a vivid account of growing up on a 160-acre family farm in Goshen Township in Clay County, Kansas. A coming-of-age memoir set in the 1930s to '50s that blends local history with personal reflection to paint a realistic picture of farm life and families from a now-lost world.

Tells the story of the author's experiences on the trail of a cultural treasure, a Mexican 'painted book' that first came into public view at Sotheby's auction house in London in 1982, nearly four hundred years after it was presumably made by Mexican artists and scribes.

This book attempts to place in historical perspective the evolution of Chilean rural society from its foundation in the sixteenth century to 1975.
