In transcribing the 150-year-old manuscript's cryptic handwriting and complex notations, Thoreau specialist Bradley Dean has performed a \"heroic feat of decipherment\" (\u003cem\u003eBooklist\u003c\/em\u003e) to bring this great work to light. Readers will discover \"passages that reach for the transcendentalist ideal of writing new scriptures, yet grounding this Bible in a vision of practical ecology\" (\u003cem\u003eBoston\u003c\/em\u003e). Beautifully illustrated throughout with line drawings of the natural life Thoreau considers on his walks, \u003cem\u003eWild Fruits\u003c\/em\u003e is \"well worth any nature lover's attention\" (\u003cem\u003eChristian Science Monitor\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.11 x 9.25 x 7.03 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 17, 2001\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42156073681031,"sku":"9780393321159","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/8ee7739bb8dfc5814c3d59a8552781bb.webp?v=1733240882","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/wild-fruits-thoreaus-rediscovered-last-manuscript-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
