Specificatii
Featuring nearly 100 luminous watercolor illustrations, Thoreau and
the Art of Life collects eloquent passages from the writings of the
seminal author and philosopher. Drawn mainly from his journals, the
short excerpts provide fascinating insight into his thought
processes by presenting his raw, unedited feelings about the things
that meant the most to him. The book reflects Thoreau's deep
beliefs and ideas about nature, relationships, creativity,
spirituality, aging, simplicity, and wisdom. By eloquently
expressing his thoughts about life and what gives it value, he
leads the reader to a closer examination of life. Thoreau's work
asks us to live our own truths with joy and discipline and to
recognize that we live in a universe of extraordinary beauty,
mystery, and wonder. An avid reader of Thoreau, editor and
illustrator Roderick Mac Iver organized the passages by themes:
love and friendship; art, creativity, and writing; aging, disease,
and death; human society and culture; nature and the human
connection to the natural world; and wisdom, truth, solitude, and
simplicity. The book includes a chronology and brief biography.
Thoreau's words of wisdom combined with Mac Iver's vivid
illustrations of the American landscape will resonate with nature
enthusiasts and a broad range of readers interested in art,
environmentalism, literature, and philosophy. "It is something to
be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so
to make a few objects beautiful, but it is more glorious to carve
and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look,
which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is
the highest of arts. Every man is tasked to make his life, even in
its details, worthy of the contemplation of his most elevated and
critical hour."--Henry David Thoreau
