River gods and nymphs frolic in Ovid's mythic telling. The trickster Coyote reroutes a river in a Native American tale. A set of stone steps at the shore of the Ganges bears witness to heartbreak in Rabindranath Tagore's 'River Stairs,' and Mark Twain floats his rebellious heroes on a raft to freedom. Kenneth Grahame's Rat and Mole explore their local waterway in a rowboat, and Ernest Hemingway's war-weary veteran finds peace while catching trout. From The Wind in the Willows to Huckleberry Finn, from Hemingway's 'Big Two-Hearted River' to Alice Munro's 'The Found Boat' and Zadie Smith's 'The Lazy River,' the tales collected here-by such luminaries as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Guy de Maupassant, E.M. Forster, Hermann Hesse, Zora Neale Hurston, Cormac McCarthy, Elif Shafak, and many more-set moving scenes against the backdrop of moving waters, in testament to the enduring power of rivers in the human imagination.
