'Makes chilliness worth every minute' The Economist. * Economist * 'Brilliantly insightful ...

The perfect fireside companion' Observer. * Observer * 'Gopnik's mind darts about like mercury as he tells his tale' The Times. * The Times *

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Winter takes us on an intimate tour of the artists, poets, composers, writers, explorers, scientists and thinkers who helped shape a new and modern idea of winter. We learn how literature heralds the arrival of the middle class; how snow science leads to existential questions of God and our place in the world; how the race to the poles marks the human drive to imprint meaning on a blank space. Offering a kaleidoscopic take on the season, Winter is a homage to an idea of a season and a journey through the modern imagination.
