A stunning tribute to the savage beauty of the area known as Death Valley. To most travelers it is a parched, empty territory, unwelcoming and forgiving. In a collection of essays that date back almost a century, naturalist and writer Mary Austin (1868-1934) breathes life into the desert landscape, describing its savage beauty, its plants and animals, and the occasional human visitor.

太好看瞭!預定今年最佳。The precision of Austin’s language makes the sweetest reward for the patience you paid to her description. The wings of the birds are “hazy with speed,” and the lake, “the eye of the mountain,” is “jade green, placid, unwinking, also unfathomable.” See how she instills soul into nature! Poetry doesn’t get better than this.
