Edward Abbey was born on January 29, 1927 in Indiana, PA. Abbey was greatly influenced by his parents, his mother was a church organizer, his father a socialist and anarchist. They, together with his experience serving as a military policeman in the second World War, left him with a great distrust of large institutions and regulations which in turn had a great influence on his writings. Following the completion of his masters thesis exploring anarchism and the morality of violence, Abbey would begin work as a park ranger across various national parks. It would be his time as a park ranger, between 1956-1957, in Utah that would most shape his first non-fiction work, "Desert Solitaire". The book follows Abbey's stay in the desert country of southeastern Utah and ruminates on the various tensions between humans and the desert environment. 1385638. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.
