    • NOW PLAYING

    Filled with fiery dawns, wild and shining rivers and radiant sandstone canyons, Down the River is a collection of essays both timeless and timely.

    • Author: Edward Abbey
    • Softcover; 242 pages
    • Penguin Group; copyright 1982

    An exploration of the abiding beauty of some of the last great stretches of American wilderness on voyages down rivers where the body and mind float free, and the grandeur of nature gives rise to meditations on everything from the life of Henry David Thoreau to the militarization of the open range. At the same time, it is an impassioned condemnation of what is being done to our natural heritage in the name of progress, profit and security. It is charged as well as heartfelt, rampageous rage at human greed, blindness and folly. It is Edward Abbey at his best.

    Made in USA.
