In the face of this, Professor Jenny Hocking embarked on a four-year legal battle to force the Archives to release the letters.

In questa lettera, come nei "Quaderni in ottavo", lo scrittore rende con chiarezza quei presupposti filosofici e psicologici che nei suoi romanzi tanto sono nascosti dallo stile e dai temi volutamente surreali e oscuri.

A literary naturalist and founder of the Sierra Club and Yosemite National Park, Muir left his legacy on the landscape and on paper. But the celebrity of John Muir does not tell the whole story.

Les lettres racontent d'un bout à l'autre ce roman d'amour, orgie de désespoir et de félicité, de mortification et d'humiliation.

A masterful abridgement of the 2017 Across Two Novembers, this book preserves the erudition, poignancy, and occasional quirkiness of the original. It cuts out the lengthy bibliography and some of the daily journal entries, but one is never left wondering what might be missing when a day is skipped. Mentions and fine reviews of dozens of books share the stage with the more personal details.
