John Burroughs was een vooraanstaande Amerikaanse natuur-essayist en filosoof. Zijn geschriften, grotendeels verzamelde essays, onderzoeken de kruising van natuur en filosofie. Burroughs formuleerde een persoonlijke religie gericht op ontzag en nieuwsgierigheid naar het universum. Hij werd gevierd als de "Grote Oude Man van de Natuur", wiens invloed op het genre van natuur-essays werd vergeleken met die van Thoreau.
In this charming little book, Thoreau treats his subject as if it were a walk itself. As he wanders, so do his thoughts. Thoreau walked both for exercise of mind and body and as a way of exploring his inner and outer worlds.

Als John Burroughs im März 1921 kurz vor seinem vierundachtzigsten Geburtstag starb, war er der berühmteste und meistverkaufte Nature Writer der USA. Beeinflusst von Ralph Waldo Emerson und Henry David Thoreau, befreundet mit Walt Whitman, schrieb er über Vögel, die Jahreszeiten, Bäume, Tiere und den Menschen in all dem. Im deutschsprachigen Raum ist John Burroughs kaum bekannt – Grund genug, seine Essays Die Kunst, Dinge zu sehen und Von der Heiterkeit der Landstraße als deutsche Erstübersetzung in gewohnt schöner Ausstattung herauszubringen. Eindringlich plädiert Burroughs darin dafür, bewusst aufmerksam zu sehen, zu hören, überhaupt wahrzunehmen, und erzählt vom Zu-Fuß-Gehen und der Interaktion zwischen dem Gehenden, der Landschaft und seinem Innenleben.
