Description

Desert Solitaire
by Edward Abbey
First published in 1968, Desert Solitaire captures the essence of Abbey’s life during three seasons as a park ranger in southeastern Utah. Through prose that is passionate and poetic, Abbey reflects on the condition of our remaining wilderness and the future of a civilization that cannot reconcile itself to living in the natural world as well as his own internal struggle with morality. As the world continues its rapid development, Abbey’s cry to maintain the natural beauty of the West remains just as relevant today as when this book was written. Paperback.
