Henry David Thoreau's Kalendar: Charts and Observations of Natural Phenomena - Kristen Case

Our Price: $35.00

Product Code: 1571311597

In the last years of his life, Henry David Thoreau created something new. Comprised of six multipage charts of "general phenomena," the Kalendar was an instrument for recording not just natural and weather-related phenomena, but also the hidden relations among them -- relations we often feel but can't quite hold, rooted as we typically are in our own brief moment of linear time. This book combines reproductions of Thoreau's hand-drawn charts with transcriptions of the Kalendar's text and essays by poet and scholar Kristen Case. It illuminates the final project of one of America's most treasured writers, and offers a timeless, transformative vision of how to live on earth.
