Description:
134 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter blue cloth with silver lettering to spine over blue boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Review copy with review literature laid in. On the Water is an intensely told tale of adolescent passion, narrated by Anton, a shy, uncomfortable outsider who harbours a yearning for a different kind of life that becomes symbolized in the river and in rowing. He joins the club, crossing the metaphorical and actual line which divides the town he lives in and forms an unlikely partnership with the calm, ironical David. Together they become a successful coxless pair, coached by an enigmatic German, Schneiderhahn. The story revels in descriptions of the physical exertion and emotional connection as it recreates pre-war Amsterdam. Telling the story in flashbacks, Anton now stands alone on a wintry evening facing a derelict and abandoned boathouse, recalling the long, hot summer of 1939 and mourning a lost world. Condition: Fine in…

Description:
New York: Grove Press, 1998. First American Edition. Hardcover. New/New. Translated from Dutch, this is a beautifully written novel about two boys training together to row in the 1940 Olympics. Told in flashbacks as the protagonist looks back on the summer five years later, it is a powerful tale about relationships, war, and finding happiness and meaning in a sport. A review in The Guardian states, "Rarely have sport and literature combined so seamlessly to produce such an absorbing and satisfying novel as this small miracle of a book from Holland by H M van den Brink." A charming and poignant novel.
