Illustrated Encyclopedia of Flora and Fauna of Walden Pond: Animals + Plants (2 Volumes)
by (u. S.) Henry David Thoreau
About This Novel
"Illustrated Book of Flora and Fauna of Walden" is a natural history classic written for everyone by Thoreau, a representative figure in American literary circles in the mid-19th century. If "Thoreau's Diary" is the "Bible" for nature lovers, then "Walden's Illustrated Book of Flora and Fauna" is the much-anticipated essence. The book uses 600 diary entries to introduce 500 species of wild plants and 400 species of wild animals, and also inserts 200 exquisite illustrations drawn by the National Book Award-winning illustrators Barry Moser and Debbie Cotter Caspari. For many years, Thoreau gave himself the task of roaming the woodlands, meadows, and wetlands of his native Concord area, observing the plants, animals, weather, and his neighbors, and then recording his observations in his "Thoreau's Journal." This record is not only a running account of natural history, but also an in-depth exploration of the spiritual significance of animals and plants to Thoreau. The "Illustrated Book of Flora and Fauna of Walden" unearths the treasure of "Thoreau's Diary", collects its philosophical thoughts about plants and interesting things about animals, and presents a panoramic picture of the natural world around the writer Thoreau.
