Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The author of The Desert, the book that made the American landscape accessible to the mainstream mind, was much less like his fellow environmental prophets John Muir and Henry David Thoreau than he would have had us believe. Van Dyke claimed to have wandered ""alone on horseback for thousands of miles through the American Southwest and northern Mexico,"" as readers of The Desertnow in the millions since the book was published in 1901were told. He did not. In The Secret Life of John C. Van Dyke, Teague and Wild unmask the desert saint with Van Dykes own recently discovered letters. These letters depict a privileged, patrician, and pampered member of the upper-class. His incriminating correspondence reveals that he saw most of the desert from plush railroad cars and grand hotel rooms. In the introduction, the editors clear up many misconceptions scholars currently hold about Van Dykes ecological principles, about his outdoorsmanship, and about his trip through the desert itself. As the centennial of the publication of The Desert approaches, this lively collection of letters helps set the record straight. The John C. Van Dyke unveiled in The Secret Life is a more varied character than we had supposedstill worthy of much admiration for his remarkable accomplishments, but still mysterious, and not the man we thought him to be. Scholars shed new light on Van Dyke and his nature-writing classic. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
