Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered.; 283 pages; Description: 283 p. : ill. Series: World Memories. Summary: Drowned in dunes of Africa, Arabia, China or elsewhere, explorer, dreamer or camel driver unendingly leave liquid footprints one behind the other in an arid, radiant world, so much like the ocean, that they seem to tread a frozen, stormy wave of monstrous proportions, simply smoothed, grooved and re-contoured by a jealous wind, quick to obliterate their traces scarcely formed. Paradoxically, simultaneously, sometimes intensely, but always in their own way, watery seas and waves of sand express the inexorable nature of mineral life which undergoes the grip of time, the mold of lattitude, the rhythm of seasons, the dilution of water or the conveyance of wind. Life which simply unfolds as it has done since time remote, implacably complex, suberb, overwhelming. Item #155722
