City-bound for a decade,  Lou decided he needed to build a simple post-and-beam cabin in the  woods. He bought five acres in the hills of western Maine and asked his  younger brother, Paul, to help him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwenty years earlier the brothers had built a house together. Now  Lou saw working with Paul as a way to reconnect with their shared  history and to rediscover his truest self. As the brothers—with the  help of Paul's sons—undertake the challenging construction, nothing  seems to go according to plan. But as they raise the cabin, Ureneck  eloquently reveals his own evolving insights into the richness and  complexity of family relationships, the healing power of nature, and  the need to root oneself in a place one can call home. With its  exploration of the satisfaction of building and of physical labor,  \u003ci\u003eCabin\u003c\/i\u003e will also appeal to readers of Robert Pirsig's \u003ci\u003eZen and  the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,\u003c\/i\u003e Matthew Crawford's \u003ci\u003eShop Class  as Soulcraft,\u003c\/i\u003e and Tracy Kidder's \u003ci\u003eHouse\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380369948927,"sku":"9780143122081","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780143122081_s600x595.jpg?v=1777307844","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780143122081","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
