false 154676 3 <div>The Haida world is a misty archipelago a hundred stormy miles off the coasts of British Columbia and Alaska. For more than a thousand years before the Europeans came, a great culture flourished on these islands. In 1900 and 1901 the linguist and ethnographer John Swanton took dictation from the last traditional Haida-speaking storytellers, poets, and historians. Robert Bringhurst worked for many years with these manuscripts, and here he brings them to life in the English language. <i>A Story as Sharp as a Knife</i> brings a lifetime of passion and a broad array of skills&#8212;humanistic, scientific, and poetic&#8212;to focus on a rich and powerful tradition that the world has long ignored.<br><br></div> 149293 1999 A Story As Sharp As a Knife: The Classical Haida Mythtellers and Their World (Masterworks of the Classical Haida Mythtellers) total:15|5:6|4:7|3:2|2:0|1:0| 15 64 36 5 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 19 10:41:54 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 19 10:56:49 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Nov 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Oct 21 04:23:31 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 04 22:16:07 -0800 2009
Read it through and it meant nothing. Lots of linguist stuff that meant nothing. Skipped some of it to be honest, this is a big book.

Re-read about 100+ pages. Damn this stuff is ...more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Apr 22 10:55:43 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 10:56:26 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Mar 21 11:23:18 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 21 11:24:59 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Sep 22 15:09:34 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 25 07:38:10 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Nov 21 07:35:49 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 07:35:49 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 19 13:43:10 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 13:43:10 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 18 11:43:20 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 11:43:20 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Oct 10 01:58:10 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 01:58:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 14 16:51:41 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 16:52:00 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Oct 28 20:31:38 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 20:54:41 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 20:54:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 01 20:03:50 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 20:03:50 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Mar 31 19:58:19 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 19:58:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 14 16:14:50 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 14 16:15:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Feb 01 17:01:32 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 01 17:01:32 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 29 23:02:34 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 22:25:49 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jan 28 18:00:13 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 18:00:43 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Oct 31 06:27:07 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 31 06:27:13 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Sep 21 22:35:52 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 21 22:35:52 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Sep 05 13:01:37 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 05 13:01:37 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=154676
