Book cover of Walking, Wild Apples
by Henry David Thoreau
Language: English
Release Date: May 3, 2019

I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil-to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there...

When I wrote the following pages, or rather the bulk of them, I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor, in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond, in Concord, Massachusetts, and earned my living by the labor of my hands only. I lived there two years and two months....

I trust that you will pardon me for being here. I do not wish to force my thoughts upon you, but I feel forced myself.

Book cover of 野果:183種果實踏查,梭羅用最後十年光陰獻給野果的小情歌
by 亨利.梭羅 Henry David Thoreau
Language: Chinese
Release Date: October 13, 2016

**  只有上帝才能讓草莓變得更完美,   但上帝也沒有這麼做,   因為草莓已經很完美了。** **  梭羅用生命最後十年光陰   獻給野果的小情歌**   *逝世137年後,大師之作重見天日   *中文版精心繪製7張滿版彩圖,與46張珍貴黑白圖   1851年春,梭羅以表格列出每一季要觀察的植物和自然現象,他閱讀植物學家的著作,師法自然觀察技術,展開他長期的記錄,梭羅曾說:「我的天職就是不斷在大自然中發現上帝的存在。」1859年秋,梭羅提筆開始寫《野果》,然而臨終前仍未能完成野果的調查工作。   這本書從一年的五月雪融開春為始,到十一月寒冷冰凍來臨前,共收錄183種北美野果,從花期、結果日、成熟期,地理分布、姿態樣貌,及至各類昆蟲、魚鳥與植物間的自然關係,更重要的,還有那果實滋味,他都娓娓道來。   梭羅與野果共舞十年,若不是肺病早逝,恐怕要付諸一生。梭羅在書中不做《湖濱散記》的哲人,而化身成和藹細心的田野踏查者,有著豐富知識又識得情趣的植物學家。梭羅關注的雖是生長於北美新英格蘭區的果實,然而透過他對果實的研究,感受他所投入的漫長時間,感受到他的柔軟,與對大地的濃濃愛意。   什麼是生活的品質?生活的可貴不在於金錢的獲得與物質的換取,梭羅期盼的是,親近腳下的自然環境,認識自然界的每一件事物,萬物生長無不配合四季運行,它們生來就是獨一無二的,每一種果實更牽引輻射出更大的生態圈。散步野外林間,賞野果、採野果、吃野果,自然的殿堂給予我們的,遠遠比哈佛、耶魯學校給的更多。 本書特色   1.  ...
