1977. Trade paperback. Southwest and old west Good . 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Pages yellowing. About the book: Now back in print, Joseph Wood Krutchs Burroughs Awardwinning The Desert Year is as beautiful as it is philosophically profound. Although Krutchâ often called the Cactus Waldenâ came to the desert relatively late in his life, his curiosity and delight in his surroundings abound throughout The Desert Year, whether he is marveling at the majesty of the endless dry sea, at flowers carpeting the desert floor, or at the unexpected appearance of an army of frogs after a heavy rain. Krutchs trenchant observations about life prospering in the hostile environment of Arizonas Sonoran Desert turn to weighty questions about humanity and the precariousness of our existence, putting lie to Western denials of mind in the lower forms of life: Let us not say that this animal or even this plant has â become adapted to desert conditions. Let us say rather that they have all shown courage and ingenuity in making the best of the world as they found it. And let us remember that if to use such terms in connection with them is a fallacy then it can only be somewhat less a fallacy to use the same terms in connection with ourselves. This edition contains 33 exacting drawings by noted illustrator Rudolf Freund. Closely tied to Krutchs uncluttered text, the drawings tell a story of ineffable beauty.
