by Matthiessen, Peter    Rudnicki, Stefan    Young, Judy
(MP3 CD - English - 9781441710635)
For twenty thousand miles, Peter Matthiessen crisscrossed the South American wilderness, traveling from the Amazonian rain forests to Machu Picchu high in the Andes, down to the edge of the world at Tierra del Fuego and back.

Bone by Bone: Shadow Country Trilogy (3)
by Matthiessen, Peter       
(Paperback - English - 9780375701818)
"Watson's voice is an artistic triumph. . . Bone by Bone ] may well come to be regarded as a classic." --San Francisco Chronicle Book Review In Bone by Bone , Peter Matthiessen speaks in the extraordinary voice of the enigmatic and dangerous E. J. Watson, whom we first saw, obliquely, through the eyes of his early twentieth-century Everglades community in Killing Mister Watson . This astonishing new novel, calling to account the violence, virulent racism, and destruction of the land that fueled the so-called American Dream, points an accusing finger straight into the burning eyes of Uncle Sam. Here is the bloodied child of the Civil War and Reconstruction who ..

by Matthiessen, Peter    Bramhall, Mark   
(MP3 CD - English - 9781433288623)
On a hot June morning in 1975, a fatal shoot-out took place between FBI agents and American Indians on a remote property near Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in which an Indian and two federal agents were killed.

Shadow Country: A New Rendering of the Watson Legend
by Matthiessen, Peter    Heald, Anthony   
(MP3 CD - English - 9781433278976)
Shadow Country is Peter Matthiessen's reimagining of the legend of E. J. Watson, the Everglades sugarcane planter and notorious outlaw of the wild Florida frontier. Vividly capturing the American hinterlands at the turn of the twentieth century, it traces the story of Watson through eyewitness perspectives as he drives himself relentlessly toward his own violent end at the hands of neighbors who mostly admired him. Shadow Country traverses strange landscapes and frontier hinterlands inhabited by Americans of every provenance and color, including the black and Indian inheritors of the archaic racism that, as Watson's wife observed, "still casts its shadow over th ..
