About This Novel
"Cape Cod" (Cape Cod, 1865), a total of about 195,000 words, including 842 notes, about 52,000 words. This book describes Thoreau's three visits to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in an intricately overlapping manner. In addition to the author's often wonderful descriptions of scenery and rich humanistic anecdotes, it also focuses on depicting the changes in nature and the insignificance of human power, as well as the nourishment and enlightenment that nature provides to people's souls. The U. S. National Park Service used this book as one of the basis for formulating the Cape Cod protection plan. Influenced by this book, U. S. President John F. Kennedy also promoted a bill to protect Cape Cod. "Cod Point", "Walden Pond", "Maine Woods" and "Two Rivers" are collectively called Thoreau's "Four Books of Nature". This book is included in the "Chinese Translated Literary Masterpieces" series.
