A young boy is teased past bearing by his brutish father and brothers. A man faces an agonizing choice: to give up either the wife he loves or the children he has always wanted but that she refuses to have. An elderly widower finds solace in his attachment to a tree he has planted but is hopeless when it comes to connecting with his fellow human beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are ordinary people, and the trouble that finds them is ordinary too. Whether or not you've ever been old and isolated, or helplessly bullied, or torn between two equally powerful desires, the range of human emotions here-fear, anger, love, sadness, loneliness, mortification, loss-is sure to be familiar. What makes the stories in \u003cem\u003eHazards of Nature\u003c\/em\u003e so compelling for me is not just the writer's insightful portraits of his characters' struggles but his sensitivity in regard to their pain. -from the Introduction, by Sigrid Nunez\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 8.25 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 23, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52548166123827,"sku":"9781735673219","price":15.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/bGhwejlBeUVwbDM4QUFpdWw1VVZvdz09.webp?v=1761029919","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/hazards-of-nature-stories-stories-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
