Book
Softcover. Condition: As New. This is the only major collection of Abbey?s writings compiled by the author himself: in his own words, to present what I think is both the best and most representative of my writing so far.? It serves up a rich feast of fiction and prose by the singular American writer whom Larry McMurtry called the Thoreau of the American West.?Devoted Abbey fans along with readers just discovering his work will find a mother lode of treasures here: generous chunks of his best novels, including The Brave Cowboy, Black Sun, and his classic The Monkey Wrench Gang; and more than a score of his evocative, passionate, trenchant essays a genre in which he produced acknowledged masterpieces such as Desert Solitaire. Scattered throughout are the author?s own petroglyph-style sketches.This new edition adds selections from work that appeared shortly before Abbey?s death: a chapter from Hayduke Lives!, the hilarious sequel to The Monkey Wrench Gang; excerpts from his revealing journals; and examples of his poetry. A new foreword by Doug Peacock Abbey?s close friend and the model for the flamboyant activist Hayduke offers a fond appreciation of this larger-than-life figure in American letters.

Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Peu de livres ont autant déchaîné les passions que celui que vous tenez entre les mains. Publié pour la première fois en 1968, Désert solitaire fait partie de ces rares livres dont on peut affirmer sans exagérer qu'il "changeait les vies" comme l'écrit Doug Peacock. A la fin des années 1950, Edward Abbey travaille deux saisons comme ranger dans le parc national des Arches, en plein coeur du désert de l'Utah. Lorsqu'il y retourne, une dizaine d'années plus tard, il constate avec effroi que le progrès est aussi passé par là. Cette aventure forme la base d'un récit envoûtant, véritable chant d'amour à la sauvagerie du monde, mais aussi formidable coup de colère du légendaire auteur du Gang de la Clef à Molette. Chef-d'oeuvre irrévérencieux et tumultueux, Désert solitaire est un classique du Nature Writing et sans conteste l'un des plus beaux textes jamais inspirés par le désert américain. - Nombre de page(s) : 1 vol. (337 p.) - Poids : 422g - Langue : fre - Genre : Littérature Anglo-Saxonne Nature writing.
