The Fires of Spring (1949) is the second novel published by American author James A. Michener. Usually known for his multi-generational epics of historical fiction, The
Fires of Spring was written as a partially autobiographical
bildungsroman in which Michener's proxy, young orphan David Harper, searches for meaning and romance in
pre-WWII Pennsylvania.
