Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 331 pages. The historic Mesopotamia Station is located in mid -Canterbury at the headwaters of the magnificent Rangitata gorge. 'Mesopotamia', named by Samuel Butler in 1860, means 'the land b etween two rivers': it lies between the Rangitata and Forest Cree k rivers. Author Bruce Ansley has brilliantly captured the spirit of this great sheep station: from the early pioneers who first b raved its harsh winters and searing summers to the ingenuity and drive of the present-day owners, the Prouting family. His descrip tion of the landscape is at once poetic and immediate and magnifi cent, taking the reader right to the heart of the high country. T he Mesopotamia story gives an astonishing overview of the history of the area, while the imposing power of the rivers, the hills, and the weather are ever present. In this country the mountains h ave as much personality and character as the members of the stati on's longtime owners, the Prouting family. The Rangitata River fl ows like a rogue throughout. We ride the 'curious tide of extreme s' that farming embodies: the heartache, the exhilaration, the gr andiose, the bombastic, the gracious, the laconic humour. This is a man's country, where the women who wish to stay have to hold t heir own; a country where the past is repeated and echoed in the present. Peter Bush's photographs, taken over a 50-year period, g race Ansley's story, capturing the great musters of days gone by, the dignity of the shearing teams, the majestic country and the characters who people Mesopotamia's story.

Description du livre Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1st Edition. A very good clean copy with minor edge wear to the jacket and a small pen name. The historic Mesopotamia Station is located in mid-Canterbury at the headwaters of the magnificent Rangitata gorge. 'Mesopotamia', named by Samuel Butler in 1860, means 'the land between two rivers': it lies between the Rangitata and Forest Creek rivers. Author Bruce Ansley has brilliantly captured the spirit of this great sheep station: from the early pioneers who first braved its harsh winters and searing summers to the ingenuity and drive of the present-day owners, the Prouting family.
