Southwest

Résumé du livre

This unusual book of Mrs. Armer's is not a travel book, not a guide book - and yet, for anyone who would know the Southwest, it is indispensable. For here, in fine prose and beautiful pictures, is the distilled essence of an individual's life in the Southwest, the product of years of living, sensitive experience. The desert, the mountains, the Indians and their desert-born lore, the historical background: all are interpreted through the feeling heart and the seeing eye of a woman who is mistress of an able pen and a skillful brush. ... Through [Southwest], one deeply versed in the ways of our great desert wonderland gives from her own wisdom a key to the beauty of each natural marvel and of the old Indian civilization.
