Many a writer in the modern era had made Paris a focal point of his or her activity, but probably no one made more of it or got more out of it than Kenneth White. While exploring a labyrinthine underworld, the book is fundamentally an autoanalysis and traces the birth of the writer as an intellectual nomad. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLetters from Gourgounel\u003c\/i\u003e takes us from the city to a wild part of south-eastern France, the Ardèche, where White undertakes a resourcing in an elementary context. Hailed in England as a 'fascinating curiosity of literature', this book not only made White famous overnight in France, it was seen there as a turning point in the contemporary situation.\u003cbr\u003eIn the third book, \u003ci\u003eTravels in the Drifting Dawn, \u003c\/i\u003e the intellectual nomad begins his moves across territories and cultures. After passing through the London underground of the sixties, then delving into the ground of his native Scotland and neighbouring Ireland, we shift back to the Continent, accumulating experience on different levels in France, Spain, Belgium, Holland, before concluding the cycle in North Africa. The trilogy is not only a summary of White's itinerary in its initial stages, it opens up a whole intellectual and cultural programme.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474481299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474481298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Kenneth White","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202299183359,"sku":"9781474481298","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1fef04f-9090-412b-bc98-5c61fc4adb12.jpg?v=1756820190","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-collected-works-of-kenneth-kenneth-white-9781474481298","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
