Sobre este artículo

UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn NFINE/VG+.Owner inscrptn ffe and price-clip to dw/dj.Yellow and black photographic dw/dj with a couple of closed tears/ nicks to bottom edge and some light creasing to top edge with light chipping to head of spine/backstrip.Black paper-covered boards with gilt letters to same.Fore-edges slightly foxed/spotted.8vo,264pp includes 16pp b/w photographs,2 b/w maps and an index. No sooner is Peter Matthiessen aboard a small freighter on its way from New York to Peru,than his reader begins to see,hear,feel and smell the details of his experience.He writes so well that he could work this magic on a journey from London to Hull - and here he is bound for places intrinsically fascinating: the rain forest and the Andean sierra, Tierra del Fuego and the Matto Grosso,and, as a perilous climax,a sortie into the jungle on the wild mountain rivers of Peru,its object the discovery of a great fossil reptile from pre-history. Matthiessen is both novelist and naturalist (author of Raditzer and Wild Life in America).People and birds,vegetation and moods - he responds to everything he encounters,and captures its essence.Both as a personal narrative and as a literary achievement,'The Cloud Forest' should take its place among the classics of its kind.
