Riassunto

"Men who share parents are but brothers. Men who share values are brethren."

-Zack Reeves

A once-in-a-lifetime storm transforms The Seraphs Ski Haven into a winter cathedral, drawing skiers who seek pilgrimage in its epic conditions. Aris Godric, a student fulfilling his bucket list dream to ski The Seraphs, hires Zack Reeves, a ski instructor devoted to perfection and the classical style. Together, their journey becomes a dance of life and death, freedom and confinement, where every turn holds the promise of exhilaration and the peril of mortality.

Through the lens of skiing, Godric and Reeves explore the boundaries of human courage, the allure of risk, and the essence of what it means to truly live.

In this thrilling and thought-provoking novella, skiing transcends into a spiritual act as Godric and Reeves discover that the path to deliverance lies in engaging The Fall Line.

The Great Skiing Novel Now Exists

For too long, serious literature has ignored Skiing. Despite its daring beauty and elegant grace, authors have excluded the sport from pantheon of great literature.

In The Fall Line, Lucid Fitzpatrick corrects this injustice, proving that skiing is a worthy subject in a lasting work of art. What Ernest Hemingway brought to bullfighting, Lucid Fitzpatrick achieves with Skiing. At last, Skiing earns its rightful place of honor from an author bold enough to declare it.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

Lucid Fitzpatrick is a fiercely independent author. Fans of romanticists, such as Victor Hugo, will immediately recognize and appreciate Lucid Fitzpatrick's style, prose, and characters. Romantic Realism finds a 21st century home in Fitzpatrick's writing as his stories highlight the power of human will, and how personal values drive a character and a story."I love to read," Fitzpatrick says. "And it is a pity that I have found far too few books that I loved reading. Those few books have enriched my life in a very profound way. I long for those moments when the author make me want to stand up and shout, 'YES!' to not only the narrative and characters, but to existence and to myself. That is why I choose to write romantic fiction. I see reading as an investment. What I require of my readers is their time and their thought. My goal is to pay back that investment with as many of those 'YES!' moments as I am able to create.IDEAL READER & IDEALS in WRITING"My ideal reader seeks affirmation of a prosperous existence and man's noble place within the universe-regardless of circumstance. The underscore of my writing and my brand of romanticism is that affirmation."Books like The Fountainhead, Toilers of the Sea, and Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah influenced how Fitzpatrick approaches his plot, characters, setting, and style. The mix of compelling plot, philosophical undertones and overtones, and themes of romanticism make Fitzpatrick's writing unique among contemporary writers, and a much needed voice to an audience hungry for such writing. If you enjoyed reading Hugo, Rand, or Bach, reading the works of Lucid Fitzpatrick will feel like the next step in a natural progression.
