The seventy-fifth anniversary edition of the classic book about
Cape Cod, "written with simplicity, sympathy, and beauty" ("New
York Herald Tribune")
A chronicle of a solitary year spent on a Cape Cod beach, " The
Outermost House" has long been recognized as a classic of American
nature writing. Henry Beston had originally planned to spend just
two weeks in his seaside home, but was so possessed by the
mysterious beauty of his surroundings that he found he "could not
go."
Instead, he sat down to try and capture in words the wonders of the
magical landscape he found himself in thrall to: the migrations of
seabirds, the rhythms of the tide, the windblown dunes, and the
scatter of stars in the changing summer sky. Beston argued that,
"The world today is sick to its thin blood for the lack of
elemental things, for fire before the hands, for water, for air,
for the dear earth itself underfoot." Seventy-five years after they
were first published, Beston's words are more true than ever.
