Resumen del Editor
First published in 1903, The Land of Little Rain is Mary Austin's classic homage to the American Southwest. Her collection of short stories and essays takes listeners on an enchanted journey through Death Valley, the High Sierras, and the Mojave Desert.
Reseñas de la Crítica
Ellen Parker's fine narration of this classic collection of meditations on the arid reaches of California is by turns intimate and inspiring. Her nuanced approach--deliberately paced, thoughtfully delivered--fits the the tone and style of this personal exploration of the Owens Valley, which is bounded by the Sierras, near Death Valley and the Mojave Desert. Parker's narration gives the listener a personal look at this lesser-known domain of coyotes, buzzards, foolish rabbits, and the thick-skinned folks who inhabit this place of heat, washouts, and wannabe miners. Originally published in 1903, Austin's words, poetic yet pragmatic, become even more vivid through Parker's elegant performance. Austin's observations of desert ways live on in this rewarding, if all too brief, audiobook. A.D.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award

Historia
It was June of 1869 when John Muir reluctantly accepted a job herding sheep from the central valley of California to the headwaters of the Merced and Tuolumne Rivers, high into the Sierra Nevadas and deep into the Yosemite region. He felt ill equipped for the work, and yet the opportunity thrilled his adventurous spirit. With a notebook tied to his belt, he set out for a summer he would never forget. My First Summer in the Sierra is Muir’s classic account of that extraordinary journey.

Thoreau's classic account of the solitary life, describing his attempts to simplify his life and sort out his priorities by living alone in a cabin beside Walden Pond for nearly two years, is one of the most influential books ever written. The bible of the environmental movement, Walden vividly portrays Thoreau's reverence for nature, and his understanding of the idea that nature is made up of crucially interrelated parts.

This essay by Thoreau first published in 1849, argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule their consciences. It goes on to say that individuals have a duty to avoid allowing the government to make them the agents of injustice. The quote: "That government is best which governs least," sometimes attributed to Thomas Jefferson or Thomas Paine, actually was first found in this essay. Thoreaus' thoughts were motivated by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War but they are still relevant and resonate today.

A young Native American, Abel has come home from war to find himself caught between two worlds. The first is the world of his father’s, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons, the harsh beauty of the land, and the ancient rites and traditions of his people. But the other world - modern, industrial America - pulls at Abel, demanding his loyalty, trying to claim his soul, and goading him into a destructive, compulsive cycle of depravity and disgust.

To the wild and fabulous country where the Rio Grande makes its big bend, J. O. Langford came in 1909 with his wife and daughter in search of health and a home. High on a bluff overlooking the spot where Tornillo Creek pours its waters into the turbulent Rio Grande, the Langfords built their home, a rude structure of adobe blocks in a land reputed to be inhabited only by bandits and rattlesnakes. Big Bend is the story of the Langfords' life in the rugged and spectacularly beautiful country which they came to call their own.

In 1963 Colin Fletcher became the first man to walk the length of Grand canyon, below the Rim. It began with a dream, when he and a friend detoured from a cross-country trip to take a hurried look at the great natural wonder. Standing on the Rim, surrounded by the profound and almost mystical silence, Fletcher knew that something had happened to the way he looked at things. He also knew that the Canyon, with its depths and distances, cliffs, buttes, and hanging terraces, beckoned to him, calling him on a journey that would challenge both his body and his mind.

Narration breathes new life into nature classic
Ellen Parker's narration breathes new life into Austin's classic, The Land of Little Rain. Austin's writing, which was at times a challenge as I read it on paper, is now easily digestible, thanks to Parker's intentional and contemplative reading. Mary Austin beautifully captures the American Southwest, with a wonderful mix of nature, Native American and Mexican culture, and characters of the "Wild West." Land of Little Rain is right at home in the canon of American nature classics. Surprised it has taken this long to hear her words read aloud.

Landscape and portrait all in one
I felt as if I were there, hovering above looking at landscape and people from above and within, This book involved all my senses and sensibilities. I could smell a storm coming, see animals and birds, feel the soft and harshness of the landscape and its inhabitants. I enjoyed Mary Austin's fashioning of language made all the more accessible by Ellen Parker's reading of it. I love a book that draws me in, that allows me to become fascinated and immersed with a place, people or event. I love being guided into the extraordinary within the ordinary. I'd love to hear more!

A Timely Audio Recording
Ellen Parker's performance of The Land of Little Rain helps to render Austin's 1903 collection of essays more accessible to listeners. Situated in Southern California's desert country, Austin invites readers to consider those plants and non-human and human animals that inhabit the desert. She moves readers through different biospheres, from Death Valley's alkaline flats to the Sierra's flowered meadows. Similarly, she encourages readers to consider those people who call the area home, paying particular attention to persons on the margin of mainstream American culture. These people include pocket hunters, indigenous persons, and Mexican communities.
Parker's performance plays into these invitations and highlights what Robert Haas has called Austin's "intimate observations." She reads the essay as conversational, often moving through topics like a trusted friend. This helps situate listeners into Southern California and Austin's observations. Parker also helps listeners better understand the author's lyrical style. The Land of Little Rain can be difficult for lay readers, so listening to Parker's recording while reading the text will be beneficial to those unfamiliar with Austin's prose.
