A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers by Henry David Thoreau
4.0
With his customarily intimate, passionate, meditative, and meandering voice, Thoreau takes us with him on a weeklong journey through the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, regaling us the whole way with naturalistic observations, from the local fishes to the trees and seasons; historical and anecdotal tales of New England's founding; philosophical meditations on poetry, friendship, Christianity, and Eastern religions; and remarks on American culture—all of which express his profound love and admiration for life.
