Description
“The seasons and all their changes are in me.” – Henry David Thoreau, Autumn (1892) Autumn: From the Journal of Henry D. Thoreau (1892) is the compilation of the insightful observations of nature Thoreau made from late September to early December in 1841-1859. Rather than following a yearly chronological organization, the naturalist and philosopher organized the journal by month to give the reader an in-depth view of Massachusetts and all its autumnal majesty. This work, selected by scholars as culturally important to understanding this period in history, is a must-read for lovers of Thoreau’s Walden (1854) and nature. HENRY DAVID THOREAU (1817-1862), writer and philosopher, was born in Concord, Massachusetts, and educated at Harvard University. His writings on human nature, materialism, and the natural world rank him among the most influential thinkers of American literature.
