Product Description

The final harvest of our great nature writer's last years, Wild Fruits presents Thoreau's distinctly American gospel--a sacramental vision of nature in which "the tension between Thoreau the naturalist and Thoreau the missionary for nature's wonders invigorates nearly every page" (Time). In transcribing the 150-year-old manuscript's cryptic handwriting and complex notations, Thoreau specialist Bradley Dean has performed a "heroic feat of decipherment" (Booklist) to bring this great work to light. Readers will discover "passages that reach for the transcendentalist ideal of writing new scriptures, yet grounding this Bible in a vision of practical ecology" (Boston). Beautifully illustrated throughout with line drawings of the natural life Thoreau considers on his walks, Wild Fruits is "well worth any nature lover's attention" (Christian Science Monitor).

Thoreau, Henry D., Observer (London): "WILD FRUITS is both at the centre of his remarkable body of work and of continuing practical interest....WILD FRUITS, from one point of view, is not much more than a catalogue of plants but it exerts a continuous fascination and its fascination is not entirely that of the banal literary pastoral....There is a constant sense of providence not exactly divine providence, but more of that sense, which Darwin shared, that nature can and will look after itself. It's the beginning of that certainty cracking, however, as the industrial revolution really gets into its stride, which makes WILD FRUITS so moving."

First Line

Most of us are still related to our native fields as the navigator to undiscovered islands in the sea. We can any afternoon discover a new fruit there which will surprise us by its beauty or sweetness. So long as I saw in my walks one or two kinds of berries whose names I did not know, the proportion of the unknown seemed indefinitely, if not infinitely, great.
