Inhaltsangabe

New England transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau’s 1843 essay “A Winter Walk” is a loving celebration of winter and walking. Thoreau vividly renders the winter season, writing of its sparkling beauty, its purity, and its stillness, and perfectly describing the warmth, coziness, and cheer to be found back at the home hearth. This short work is part of Applewood’s “American Roots,” series, tactile mementos of American passions by some of America’s most famous writers.

"Applewood Books is located in an old candy factory on River Road in Carlisle, Massachusetts. Drive down our road a mile, and River Road becomes Monument Street in Concord, former home of Henry David Thoreau and the transcendentalists. Halfway between our office and Concord center are the Punkatasset woods. There I walk almost daily with my office companion and half-golden retriever, Dao Noi. Here, no doubt, Henry David Thoreau walked in winter. One day this past winter, after a walk, with Noi snoozing on my office couch, I reread this beautiful celebration of winter and walking." —Phil Zuckerman, Publisher
