Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. Here is the 1966 paperback reprint of Henry David Thoreau's book "Cape Cod" It was published by Thomas Y. Crowell in its 'Apollo Editions' series. This edition is now Out of Print. "This is the account of three walking trips that Thoreau made on Cape Cod in 1849, 1850, and 1855. Thoreau found a deep satisfaction in the simplicity of the Cape Codders' ways, the bare beauty of the landscape, and the ever-present ocean. With relish and good humor, he describes what he saw on his tramps about this wind-swept peninsula : remains of a shipwreck, windmills, seaweed, sea creatures, the changing water in its various moods, ships, lighthouses, birds, the scrubby vegetation, and especially the people. He enjoyed talking with the old salts, and this book is full of their yarns. " As always with Thoreau, his observations of nature caused him to meditate on their meaning, and the mighty waters pounding the Cape Cod beaches fascinated him. Here was the great elemental force - two thirds of the globe- teeming with animals, treacherous to seamen, but possessing many kinds of beauty. Thoreau met the elements and found them bracing. The country itself had the simplicity he had always striven to attain. Facing the ocean on Cape Cod, he wrote : 'A man may stand there and put all America behind him.'

Hardback. Condición: New. Clare Leighton was one of the most prolific and highly regarded wood engravers of her time, leaving behind a body of work that reflected her rural life in Britain and North America. During the 1930s, as the world around her became increasingly technological, industrial, and urban, Leighton portrayed rural men and women and the ancient methods they used to work the land that would soon vanish forever. Her two best-loved publications, The Farmer's Year and Four Hedges, reflect this passion for the British countryside. Less well known are her books illustrating and describing rural life in the United States of America, where she emigrated and became a naturalized citizen in 1945, including Southern Harvest and Where Land Meets Sea: The Tide Line of Cape Cod. Leighton also spent time in Canada with the logging community, winning the respect of Canadian lumberjacks by adopting their way of life. Her wood engravings depicting lumberjacks in the snow-covered forests of Canada are some of her most evocative prints. This lavish anthology includes beautifully reproduced extracts and a detailed introduction to the artist's life and work, reflecting Leighton's lifelong fascination with the virtues of the countryside and the people who worked the land.…
