Als John Burroughs im März 1921 kurz vor seinem vierundachtzigsten Geburtstag starb, war er der berühmteste und meistverkaufte Nature Writer der USA. Beeinflusst von Ralph Waldo Emerson und Henry David Thoreau, befreundet mit Walt Whitman, schrieb er über Vögel, die Jahreszeiten, Bäume, Tiere und den Menschen in all dem. Im deutschsprachigen Raum ist John Burroughs kaum bekannt – Grund genug, seine Essays Die Kunst, Dinge zu sehen und Von der Heiterkeit der Landstraße als deutsche Erstübersetzung in gewohnt schöner Ausstattung herauszubringen. Eindringlich plädiert Burroughs darin dafür, bewusst aufmerksam zu sehen, zu hören, überhaupt wahrzunehmen, und erzählt vom Zu-Fuß-Gehen und der Interaktion zwischen dem Gehenden, der Landschaft und seinem Innenleben.
