Thoreau Journal (Hardcover)

Thoreau`s extensive journals are among his most innovative and fascinating works. Combining vivid descriptions of the natural world with cogent and always highly individual reflections on what he sees, the journals are meticulous records of the natural phenomena of Concord and the surrounding towns in the mid-19th century. As always, Thoreau combines scientific precision with lyrical prose; in the journals, he is seen at his best both as a writer and as a naturalist. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
