“Between the high Sierras south from Yosemite—east and south over a very great assemblage of broken ranges beyond Death Valley, and on illimitably into the Mojave Desert” is the territory that Mary Austin calls the Land of Little Rain. In this classic collection of meditations on the wonders of this region, Austin generously shares “such news of the land, of its trails and what is astir in them, as one lover of it can give to another.” Her vivid writings capture the landscape—from burnt hills to sun-baked mesas—as well as the rich variety of plant and animal life, and the few human beings who inhabit the land, including cattlemen, miners, and Paiute Indians. This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the original 1903 edition.

A new, beautifully laid-out edition of Mary Austin's 1903 classic, The Land of Little Rain . In this collection of interrelated short stories and lyrical essays, Austin captures the landscapes and inhabitants of the American Southwest on a nearly spiritual level. Mary Hunter Austin (1868 - 1934) was an American nature writer. An expert on the indigenous peoples and cultures of the Mojave Desert, Austin focused her writing on the American Southwest. Her classic The Land of Little Rain (1903) describes the fauna, flora, and people - as well as evoking the mysticism and spirituality - of the region between the High Sierra and the Mojave Desert of southern California. She was a prolific novelist, poet, critic, and playwright, as well as an early feminist and defender of Native American and Spanish-American rights.

Mary Austin's Land of Little Rain, first published in 1903, is considered by many to be one of the foundational texts in environmental writing, now studied as a classic in the literature that sought to describe the complexity of the American continent. Like John Muir, who wrote so intimately of the High Sierra that vast acreages have been preserved through the knowledge he shared, the work of Mary Austin has allowed those who will never travel there a deep feeling for the special beauties of the Southwest. Her poetic sensibility expressed in an inimitable prose paint a timeless portrait of that vast dry expanse, the Mojave northward from the Mexican border to Death Valley, with the Eastern Sierra to the west and the Colorado River to the east. This new large format edition includes all of the original text together with the intimate color work of noted photographer Walter Feller, a lifelong admirer of Austin's writing. He has spent years photographing the American Southwest, bringing to life the region's vital landscape and wildlife in images of astonishing beauty.
