Wild Fruits
Book (italiano):
The final harvest of our great nature writer's last years, <em>Wild Fruits</em> presents Thoreau's distinctly American gospel-a sacramental vision of nature in which "the tension between Thoreau the naturalist and Thoreau the missionary for nature's wonders invigorates nearly every page" (<em>Time</em>). In transcribing the 150-year-old manuscript's cryptic handwriting and complex notations, Thoreau specialist Bradley Dean has performed a "heroic feat of decipherment" (<em>Booklist</em>) to bring this great work to light. Readers will discover "passages that reach for the transcendentalist ideal of writing new scriptures, yet grounding this Bible in a vision of practical ecology" (<em>Boston</em>). Beautifully illustrated throughout with line drawings of the natural life Thoreau considers on his walks, <em>Wild Fruits</em> is "well worth any nature lover's attention" (<em>Christian Science Monitor</em>).
