Product Description
Autumnal Tints is one of Thoreau's best known essays. Written as a lecture, which he delivered in 1859, the text was first published in the October issue of The Atlantic Monthly, just months after his death in May 1862. From the purple grasses of August, to the yellow elms of October, to the scarlet oak leaves of November, Henry David Thoreau casts his eye on the brilliant colors of autumn and guides us on a journey through the season's bounty. In this classic essay, Thoreau delights in fall's foliage and reveals both a practical and philosophical understanding of the changing environment. Now available on audio for the first time, Thoreau's essay is the perfect travel companion for those out to discover one of America's natural wonders. * Narrated by Brett Barry * 1 CD/running time: 72 minutes
