Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a descriptive guide to the famed NIagara Falls. Beginning with a detailed argument for the impossibilityâ"and therefore the necessityâ"of singularly capturing the grandeur of the Falls' spectacle in words, the author attempts to convey, via vivid prose, the character of this natural wonder. Despite the futility of any attempt at complete representation, the author attempts to convey the raw grandeur of the Falls through an emotive exploration of its most remarkable features: the Bridal Veil Fall, Goat Island, the Cave of the Winds, and the Horseshoe Falls. Positioned at the centre of a broader historical discussion that draws parallels between the Falls and other monuments, both natural and manmade, as well as the broader context of its significance to Native American culture, the book's primary achievement is the attempt to provide the reader with a literary simulacrum of the Falls' beauty, and through this, an appreciation of its timeless significance as both a part of the natural world and as a symbol of the untamed spirit of nature.
