More DescriptionStones and Other Texts is the first complete English translation of his work Pierres suivi d'autres textes, (1966, Gallimard). Stones illustrates Caillois' ability to move between the poetic, the cerebral, and the spiritual. Often bouncing between detailed descriptions of physical characteristics, to geography and the stones movement through space and time, to the mythology surrounding the stones. Unlike The Writing of Stones, which featured images from Caillois' own rock collection, this text pairs a complete English translation by French writer and curator, Valentine Umansky, with the haunting imagery from, writer and designer, Richard Weston.
