Here are essays and excerpts that highlight the spiritual, literary, and political daring so crucial to Matthiessen's vision. Matthiessen chronicles his 250-mile trek across the Himalaya to the Tibetan Plateau in a selection from the National Book Award winner \u003cb\u003eThe Snow Leopard\u003c\/b\u003e. Wild peoples, wilderness, and wildlife--common themes throughout Matthiessen's oeuvre--are examined with grace and power in \u003cb\u003eThe Tree Where Man Was Born\u003c\/b\u003e. Here too are excerpts from \u003cb\u003eIndian Country\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eIn the Spirit of Crazy Horse\u003c\/b\u003e, Matthiessen's stunning exposé of the Leonard Peltier case and the ongoing conflict between the U.S. government and the American Indian Movement. Comprehensive and engrossing, \u003cb\u003eThe Peter Matthiessen Reader\u003c\/b\u003e celebrates an American voice unequaled in its commitment to literature's noblest aspiration: to challenge us to perceive our world--as well as ourselves--truthfully and clearly.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43412611989759,"sku":"9780375702723","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780375702723_s600x595.jpg?v=1775588012","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780375702723","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
