Description
‘Revolutionary … An extravagant, finely written tale of ecological sabotage’ The New York TimesAudacious, controversial and hilarious, The Monkey Wrench Gang is Edward Abbey’s masterpiece – a big, boisterous and unforgettable novel about freedom and commitment that ignited the flames of environmental activism. Throughout the vast American West, nature is being vicitimized by a Big Government / Big Business conspiracy of bridges, dams and concrete. But a motley gang of individuals has decided that enough is enough. A burnt-out veteran, a mad doctor and a polygamist join forces in a noble cause: to dismantle the machinery of progress through peaceful means – or otherwise.
