Cape Cod
Henry David Thoreau  •  Paul Theroux (Introduction)
TRAVEL NARRATIVE •  1995 •  PAPER  • 319 PAGES

In his signature style, Thoreau muses on the ocean and his surroundings, as he combs the beaches of Cape Cod. Though written nearly 150 years ago, his essay is a compelling, sardonic portrait of coastal Massachusetts, its human and natural history. Published posthumously, the book originated as a series of lectures, where (according to none other than Ralph Waldo Emerson) the audience "laughed till they cried." It takes as its form a diary, combining essay, travel, natural history and social commentary.  (USE65, $14.00)
