Sommario/riassunto

Now back in print, Joseph Wood Krutch's Burroughs Award-winning The Desert Year is as beautiful as it is philosophically profound. Although Krutch-often called the Cactus Walden-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.

Sommario/riassunto

Extrait : ""Robert-Macaire ne pouvait apparaître dans un autre temps que le nôtre. Il est bien l'enfant de ce siècle ; il est l'incarnation de notre époque positive, égoïste, avare, menteuse, vantarde, et , disons le mot, il est ici parfaitement à sa place - essentiellement blagueuse.""
