Paperback. Condition: Very Good. My favourite book about the wilderness Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild In this shimmering masterpiece of American nature writing, Edward Abbey ventures alone into the canyonlands of Moab, Utah, to work as a seasonal ranger for the United States National Park Service. Living out of a trailer, Abbey captures in rapt, poetic prose the landscape of the desert; a world of terracotta earth, empty skies, arching rock formations, cliffrose, juniper, pinyon pine and sand sage. His summers become spirit quests, taking him in search of wild horses and Ancient Puebloan petroglyphs, up mountains and across tribal lands, and down the Glen Canyon by river. He experiences both sides of his new home; its incredible beauty and its promise of liberation, but also its isolating, cruel side, at one point discovering a dead tourist at an isolated area of the Grand Canyon. In his own irascible style, Abbey uses his time in the desert to meditate on the tension between nature and civilisation, and outlines a personal philosophy that would come to heavily influence the environmentalist movement. Now published in a special edition to celebrate its 50th Anniversary, this classic seems remarkably prescient, and has lost none of its power. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. First Touchstone edition, later printing. Erstwhile remainder has black line on text block tail, o/w unmarked, unread, in Near Fine condition. "Since DESERT SOLITAIRE was published in 1968 it has attracted a national underground of fierce Abbey advocates and a torrent of critical acclaim--admired as much for the 'forthright prose and crusty personality of the author' as for its evocation of 'tense, vehement, joyous living' in the 33,000 acres of Arches National Monument where Abbey was sole custodian for three seasons." [publisher copy] 'Illustrations are by Peter Parnall, and are based on the author's copies of prehistoric Indian petroglyphs and pictographs found in various parts of southern Utah and northern Arizona.' From "the center of the world, God's navel, Abbey's country, the red wasteland," comes this extraordinary book: "A passionate celebration.a hymn of hate. Eloquent, bitter, extravagant."--Joseph Wood Krutch. Old but pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.

Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Fine. 4 1/4" X 7", 303 pages. A celebration of the beauty of living in a harsh and hostile land. This book may well seem like a ride on a bucking bronco. It is rough, tough, combative. The author is a rebel and an eloquent loner. His is a passionately felt, deeply poetic book. It has philosophy. It has humor. it has its share of nerve-tingling adventures.set down in a lean, racing prose, in a close-knit style of power and bueaty.
