In the Carquinez Woods

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of California's pioneering days, the narrative captures the essence of the natural landscape through vivid, evocative descriptions. Harte's prose paints a haunting picture of the Carquinez Woods at dusk, where sunlight struggles against the towering redwoods, creating an atmosphere steeped in mystery and solitude. The imagery evokes a sense of timelessness and reverence for nature, illustrating the interplay of light and shadow, and the profound silence that envelops the ancient trees, reflecting on the forgotten past.
