David Gessner Orden de los libros (cronológico)

The narrative explores the evolving relationship between David Gessner and his idol, nature writer John Hay, as Gessner reconnects with his roots in Cape Cod. Initially intending to write a biography, Gessner's perspective shifts during their conversations and walks on Hay's property, leading to profound insights about life, nature, and mentorship. The resulting work captures the lessons learned from Hay, blending personal reflection with the beauty of their shared environment.

Cape Cod, that sandy, wind-swept enchantress, has captivated many writers, among them Thoreau, whose descriptions of that "wild, rank place" have fired the imaginations of many generations, including David Gessner, whose book goes far beyond that naturalist's focus on the transcendent beauty of the landscape. 17 drawings.
