'One of the most intelligent, original, stimulating, self-indulgent, perverse and irresistibly enjoyable books I have ever read. ' Philip ZieglerLandscape and Memory is a history book unlike any other. In a series of journeys through space and time, it examines our relationship with the landscape around us -- rivers, mountains, forests -- the impact each of them has had on our culture and imaginations, and the way in which we, in turn, have shaped them to answer our needs. This is not a conventional history book -- but a history book that builds up its argument by a series of poetic stories and impressions which cumulatively have the effect of a great novel. The forest primeval, the river of life, the sacred mount -- and the end of the wonderful book we understand where these ideas have come from, why they are so compelling and how they still lie all around us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45051608694935,"sku":"9780006863489","price":3172.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780006863489.webp?v=1769200207","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/landscape-and-memory-9780006863489","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
