"The Land of Little Rain" is a book written by Mary Austin, one of America's first nature writers. In her concise but colorful prose, she proves that the California desert is not only sand and stones, but also a living environment with unique plants and animals that have adapted to the harsh conditions. The book depicts the beauty of nature, the emerging silence of the desert and the images of the people who lived in this difficult but charming corner. "Land of Little Rain" is a dizzying immersion in nature and its purity, which forces the reader to see the surrounding world from a different angle.
