{"product_id":"9781631490859","title":"Writing Across the Landscape: Travel Journals 1960-2013: Travel Journals 1950-2013","description":"\u003cp\u003eA \u003ci\u003eMotorcycle Diaries\u003c\/i\u003e for a new generation, this long-awaited volume provides a panoramic portrait of art and life across the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e Lawrence Ferlinghetti—legendary poet and best-selling author of \u003ci\u003eConey Island of the Mind\u003c\/i\u003e—collects here his six-decade-spanning travel journals. Beginning in 1950 and dramatically traversing the latter half of the twentieth century to the present, \u003ci\u003eWriting Across the Landscape\u003c\/i\u003e positions Ferlinghetti not only as a seminal poet but also as a major and unique American voice whose heretofore personal writings are now added to the fabric of twentieth-century literary history. Illustrated throughout with facsimile manuscripts and personal sketches, the volume gives glimpses of figures like Jack Kerouac in the ’50s, William Burroughs in London, Ezra Pound in Italy, and a young Fidel Castro in Cuba at the dawn of the Revolution. Readers will journey to Mexico, Morocco, Paris, and Rome, as well as to post-Stalinist Russia on a harrowing journey on the Trans-Siberian Express. Embedded with new poems and Ferlinghetti’s pyrotechnic prose, \u003ci\u003eWriting Across the Landscape\u003c\/i\u003e evokes the people, places, and political movements that have shaped our time.","brand":"Liveright Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134932336880,"sku":"9781631490859","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781631490859_p0.jpg?v=1763672108","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781631490859","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
