A "New York Times" Editors' Choice
Most readers think they know Henry David Thoreau: the solitary
curmudgeon with the shack out in the woods. In this delightfully
engaging book, Robert Sullivan gives us the Thoreau we "don't"
know: the gregarious adventurer, the guy who liked to go camping
with friends (even if they sometimes accidentally burned the woods
down). Here is no lonely eccentric but a man who danced and sang,
who worked throughout his short life at the family pencil-making
business, who moved into his parents' house after leaving Walden
Pond and always paid his father rent. Passionate yet whimsical,
"The Thoreau You Don't Know" asks us to cast off our misconceptions
as we reexamine our everyday relationship with the natural world
and one another.
