New York. 2000. Four Walls Eight Windows. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket . 1568581688. Translated from the French by Patricia Clancy. 288 pages. hardcover. keywords: Travel Islands Kerguelens Indian Ocean. FROM THE PUBLISHER - The Kerguelens - isolated French islands in the southern Indian Ocean - were the home of the Arch of Kerguelen, a 1,000-foot-tall stone vault that had confounded navigators for centuries. Jean-Paul Kauffmann finds poetry in the isolation and strangely serene beauty of this land far from the hustle of 'civilized' life, where the vast ocean dominates, where the wind reigns and solitude is interrupted only by animals scrambling in the windswept fields by the graves of those who journeyed there before. inventory #28482 ISBN: 1568581688.
