Trei săptămâni în Atlas

In Trei săptămâni în Atlas, Marius Chivu writes about mountains and desert travel. He asks what limits people face. As he walks, the strain draws his gaze from the land. He turns instead to his own tired body. Desert sand, heat, wind, and light make him think about time. People and dromedaries seem small in this vast, harsh place.

This memoir is for readers who like first-hand accounts of nature. Chivu shows how awe can turn to unease and distance. He sets short human lives against nature’s lasting force. This edition also has photos he took himself.
