| Аннотация | "Is this heaven?" James Earl Jones asks Kevin Costner, on catching his first glimpse of Iowa in Field of Dreams. Maybe not, but plenty of moviemakers and storytellers have found in Iowa a little piece of paradise. Rodgers & Hammerstein’s State Fair takes place here; so does The Bridges of Madison County. The state’s rolling fields and down-to-earth values have made it the very "heart of the heartland." Best known as America's corn capital, Iowa is rich in far more than its fertile soil. It's the homeland of that all-American artist, Grant Wood, whose American Gothic celebrated his roots and became an icon. It's a place of strong literary traditions: novelists from Hamlin Garland to Jane Smiley weave its rural ambience through their fiction, and the Iowa Writers Workshop has nurtured great writing for half a century. The spirited sound of brass bands echoes through the state, a tradition immortalized by The Music Man and by native son Glenn Miller. Iowans have a gift for creating artful objects for everyday use -baskets to tinware, woodcarvings to textiles. Befitting Iowa's hospitable reputation, it's also home to the World's Largest Coffeepot, a roadside landmark. So if you picture Iowa as just one of those flat "middle states," look again. In this book, you'll discover a place as colorful and complex as one of its beautiful Amish quilts - and you'll taste the true flavor of the American heartland. |
