| Summary, etc. | If you have never been introduced to "the man of Concord" (as Ralph Waldo Emerson eulogized Thoreau), or have shied away from Henry since your first and last encounters in high school or college, here is your opportunity to discover a much more well-rounded individual than you ever imagined.Thoreau was indeed funny, meaning "odd," as well as funny, meaning "humorous." Caution: When reading this book you may find yourself occasionally laughing -- at yourself! The presentations in this book are directly from Thoreau's writings, including character descriptions, humorous travel accounts, tall tales, nature observances, historical accounts, and individual thoughts. If you think: 1. Thoreau was a hermit; 2. Thoreau's writings contain little or no humor; and, or 3. Thoreau's thoughts are too difficult to be understood by the average reader, you are in for an enjoyable surprise! |
