Description:

Either there's something about the desert that inspires people to eloquence, or else eloquent people are naturally drawn to the desert. Whatever the order, the sere sands and barren spaces of deserts the world over have prompted a wonderful assortment of fine writing, here collected in one book. There are tribal folk tales plus pieces by Bruce Chatwin, Richard Byrd, Edgar Allan Poe, Teddy Roosevelt, Marco Polo, Pablo Neruda, Luis Borges, Herodotus, Pliny the Elder and lots more.
