Pilgrimage to Tinker Creek (new Version)
Literature听客溪的朝圣（新装版）
(us) Annie Dillard
The flight of a bird is casual and spontaneous, like the curling of a stem or the lightening of a star. "Pilgrimage to Tinker Creek" can be called a model of contemporary nature literature. The world has taken on a new look because of its words, making readers "cannot bear to finish reading it." It has been widely selected as a textbook for American universities and middle schools. Critics believe that this book is better than Thoreau's "Walden Pond", while others say it is comparable to Fabre's "Insects". For Dillard, this is her twenty-seven-year-old young and unrestrained soul, freely and boldly confronting the world's greatest themes of life and death.
