I've decided that, for me, Muir is an author whose work is best savored in small batches. Taken too rapidly, one after another, the pieces become like too much candy. So I'm moving on, with this book half-finished. I'll return to it to enjoy the essays singly at later dates when I'm again in the mood. ( ) To me there is no one more enthusiastic about the outdoors than John Muir. In this collection of wonderful and descriptive essays, we follow him through wild and unchartered landscapes, and within each sentence can hear him breathlessly trying to make permanent his travels, invigorated and beaming with respect. I received the book for free through Goodreads Giveaways, and am so grateful for it! :) https://www.goodreads.com/Probably_Reading For some reason I misplaced this book a lot while I was reading it. So much so, that I would joke that I couldn't find it because Muir had wandered off again. It did take me quite awhile to read it, but I feel like this book was meant to be read in spurts. A little here and there, not all at once. Mr. Muir is a great nature writer, he makes you feel like you're walking beside him, experiencing everything he is. I so badly wanted to go hiking while reading this! Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Part of John Muir's appeal to modern readers is that he not only explored the American West and wrote about its beauties but also fought for their preservation. His successes dot the landscape and are evident in all the natural features that bear his name: forests, lakes, trails, and glaciers. Here collected are some of Muir's finest wilderness essays, ranging in subject matter from Alaska to Yellowstone, from Oregon to the High Sierra.This book is part of a series that celebrates the tradition of literary naturalists??writers who embrace the natural world as the setting for some of our most euphoric and serious experiences. These books map the intimate connections between the human and the natural world. Literary naturalists transcend political boundaries, social concerns, and historical milieus; they speak for what Henry Beston called the ??other nations? of the planet. Their message acquires more weight and urgency as wild places become increasingl Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
