Items related to The Postman
He was a survivor:
a wanderer who traded tales for food and shelter in the dark and savage aftermath of a devastating war.
But when he borrows the jacket of a long-dead postal worker, his life changes for ever. As he journeys from one isolated community to the next, the old, worn uniform becomes far more than a protection against the unrelenting cold: it's a reminder of how things were before the world collapsed - and a symbol for how things might be again.
His story is one of a lie becoming the most important kind of truth.
Translated into 25 languages around the world, The Postman is a powerful and affecting novel about survival of the human spirit, from the award-winning author of EXISTENCE and The Uplift novels.

Review:
A major motion picture from Warner Bros., directed by and starring Kevin Costner. Critical acclaim for David Brin and The Postman: "The Postman will keep you engrossed until you've finished the last page."--Chicago Tribune "Brin is a bold and imaginative writer."--The Washington Post Book World
From the Author:
Thanks for the nice remarks!
Thanks for the encouragement, folks. This whole Hollywood thing has been a roller coaster. But the book itself is an anchor. It was a reflection of how I felt when, as a kid, it seemed to me the world might go poof at any time, and how much we'd miss the little things in life... the things that make it worth standing up, now and then, and saying 'I am a member of a civilization.' Hang in there and make it work. David Brin
