Stone Voices
Author: Neal Ascherson
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781862075245
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
"Stone Voices is Ascherson's return to his native Scotland. It is an exploration of Scottish identity, but this is no journalistic rumination on the future of that small nation. Instead it weaves together a story of deep time - the time of geology and archaeology, of myth and legend - with the story of modern Scotland and its rebirth."
