Canoeing in the Wilderness

Meer over het boek

The wilderness canoe trip undertaken by Thoreau at the age of forty is beautifully captured in the latter half of The Maine Woods. This work stands out as a remarkable blend of meditative reflection and poetic imagery, intertwined with detailed accounts of his experiences in the forest. Its charm lies in the seamless integration of nature's beauty with philosophical musings, making it one of the finest portrayals of the wilderness.
