Edward Abbey

A few days ago my wife bought me an interesting piece of art with a quote from Edward Abbey, "May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.". I was excited to discover more about him, after some research I found he is an American writer and radical environmental activist. His best known bookis The Gang of the Wrench, which inspired the creation of the environmental organization Earth First! Of course I am in love with a personality like that, fueled with anger and seeing environmental change as an immediate need. What I love most about him is his action an constant fight with his own convictions.

I just bought his book " The Monkey Wrench Gang"
