Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Desert Valley Over many wide regions of the southwestern desert country of Arizona and New Mexico lies an eternal spell of silence and mystery. Across the sand ridges come many foreign things, both animate and inanimate, which are engulfed in its immensity; which frequently disappear for all time from the sight of men, blotted out like a bird which flies free from a lighted room into the outside darkness. As though in compensation for that which it has taken, the desert from time to time allows new marvels, riven from its vitals, to emerge. Though death-still, it has a voice which calls ceaselessly to those human hearts tuned to its messages; hostile and harsh, it draws and urges; repellent, it profligately awards health and wealth; inviting, it kills. And always it keeps its own counsel; it is without peer in its lonesomeness, and without confidants; it heaps its sand over its secrets to hide them from its flashing stars. You see the bobbing ears of a pack animal and the dusty bat and stoop shoulders of a roan. They are symbols of mystery. They rise briefly against the sky line, they are gone into the grey distance. Something beckons or something drives. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
