Series statement from publisher's website.
Down dirt roads and off the beaten path, many homes stand forgotten, neglected and left to ruin. A concentration camp from World War II, used to house Jews and other innocents. A Queen-Anne house built by an inventor, plantation owner, philanthropist who gifts to the community are still remembered to this day. The country home of a civil rights activist, thought by many as a scam artist and instigator, and a hero and role model to others. A Victorian home once owned by the man who revolutionized the sciences in agriculture and developed the fertilizers we use today. A fishing lodge and hotel owned by a daredevil, famous for blowing himself up with dynamite and surviving. A pet cemetery where the killings of three individuals took place. Every home here has its own unique history and stories, all only shadows of their former selves.Sixteen abandoned homes and residences throughout the South, with full color photos giving you an idea what these places look like.

SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER Acclaimed and beloved travel writer Paul Theroux turns his attention to his own country - America - for the first time in Deep South For the past fifty years, Paul Theroux has travelled to the far corners of the earth - to China, India, Africa, the Pacific Islands, South America, Russia, and elsewhere - and brought them to life in his cool, exacting prose. In Deep South he turns his gaze to a region much closer to his home. Travelling through North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas, Paul Theroux writes of the stunning landscapes he discovers - the deserts, the mountains, the Mississippi - and above all, the lives of the people he meets. The South is a place of contradictions. There is the warm, open spirit of the soul food cafes, found in every town, no matter how small. There is the ruined grandeur of numberless ghostly towns, long abandoned by the industries that built them. There are the state gun shows, populated by a close-knit and subtly forlorn tribe of peoples. In the depths of his native country, Theroux discovers a land more profoundly foreign than anything he has previously experienced.

To all human beings on this planet, especially human beings who are living the life accountable functioning human beings and who are therefore responsible for molding and shaping the world into what it is and what it remains to be. This book is mostly about the life and living of the life for human beings and what is needed in order to mold and shape the world into what it is meant to be. The House that Life Built is coming from the heart, mind and soul of an accountable functioning human being on this planet who feels a need to express what it takes to mold and shape one self which will ultimately mold and shape the world as a whole. It is more or less portrayed in a life's journey on what life is believed to be for all human beings on this planet and how that impacts the world as it is and continues to be. This journey is based upon a theory that life is a gift to this planet which in turn requires three functions in order to survive. The three functions are believed to be what a human being is all about starting from birth and for the duration of a lifetime. The idea is that each functioning human being on this planet has to feed his/her soul in order to make the person or personalities grow. With respect the feeding, it is what kind of food and how it is delivered that is key. This journey is summarized with the belief that the ultimate answer to all of life challenges is by far the understanding that there is a force or a most powerful direction, if you will, that is above and beyond anything and anybody on this planet.
