{"product_id":"stones-of-aran-labyrinth","title":"Stones of Aran: Labyrinth","description":"Tim Robinson’s \u003ci\u003eStones of Aran\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the most striking and original literary undertakings of our time. Robinson’s ambition is to find out both what it is to know a landscape, know it as extensively and intimately as possible, and what it takes to make that knowledge, the sense of the landscape itself, come alive in writing. It is a project that draws on the legacies of Thoreau and Joyce, to which Robinson brings his own polymathic gifts as cartographer, mathematician, historian, and, above all, shaper of words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePilgrimage\u003c\/i\u003e Robinson walked the entire coast of Airann, largest of the Aran islands. In \u003ci\u003eLabyrinth\u003c\/i\u003e he turns in to the island’s interior. These two books—parts of an inseparable whole that can, for all that, be read quite separately from each other—constitute a vast polyphonic composition, at once encyclopedic and lyrical, scientific and surprisingly personal. Exploring the illimitable complexity and bounty contained in the seemingly limited confines of a single island, Robinson invites us to look without and within and to see the wonder of the world.","brand":"Tim Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":51960321933528,"sku":"9781590173145","price":35.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2770\/5320\/files\/cover-9781590173145.jpg?v=1783372974","url":"https:\/\/destiil.com\/products\/stones-of-aran-labyrinth","provider":"De Stiil Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
