The First And Last Journeys Of Thoreau: Lately Discovered Among His Unpublished Journals And Manuscripts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781430495284)

The First and Last Journeys of Thoreau is a collection of previously unpublished journals and manuscripts written by the renowned American author and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau. The book includes two distinct pieces of writing: the first being Thoreau's journal entries from his journey to Maine in 1846, and the second being his final journal entries from 1861, just months before his death.The first section of the book details Thoreau's travels through the wilderness of Maine, where he spent several weeks exploring the natural beauty of the region and recording his observations in his journal. Thoreau's writing is vivid and descriptive, capturing the sights, sounds, and sensations of the landscape in a way that only a true nature lover could.The second section of the book is more introspective, as Thoreau reflects on his life and the world around him in the months leading up to his death. He writes about his fears, hopes, and regrets, as well as his thoughts on nature, society, and the human condition.Overall, The First and Last Journeys of Thoreau is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of America's most beloved writers and thinkers. It offers readers a unique perspective on Thoreau's life and work, and provides valuable insights into his philosophy and worldview.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
