A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

For many winter is a time of postponed activity - shovelling snow navigating ice and trying to keep warm. What can easily be forgotten in winter's cold and occasional dreariness is that it is also a time for shoring up purity praise delight and play. In thirty stirring pieces WINTER LIFE delves into the varied feelings that winter conjures in us calling up both the barrenness and beauty of the natural world in wintertime. Exploring our retreat and hibernation from the world and our ultimate joyful breaking free from icy paralysis these inspiring writings will help readers express and understand their own personal reaction to wintertime showing them the way from the cold of winter to the warmth of the human soul. Includes a wide range of classic texts - from translated Sanskrit and Hebrew poems to Henry David Thoreau and Basho. Also includes contributions by: Will Campbell Rachel Carson Annie Dillard Donald Hall Ron Hansen Jane Kenyon Barry Lopez Kathleen Norris Marilynne Robinson John Updike E. B. White and many more.
