The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod


Description

The seventy-fifth anniversary edition of the classic book about Cape Cod, "written with simplicity, sympathy, and beauty" ("New York Herald Tribune")A chronicle of a solitary year spent on a Cape Cod beach, " The Outermost House" has long been recognized as a classic of American nature writing. Henry Beston had originally planned to spend just two weeks in his seaside home, but was so possessed by the mysterious beauty of his surroundings that he found he "could not go."Instead, he sat down to try and capture in words the wonders of the magical landscape he found himself in thrall to: the migrations of seabirds, the rhythms of the tide, the windblown dunes, and the scatter of stars in the changing summer sky. Beston argued that, "The world today is sick to its thin blood for the lack of elemental things, for fire before the hands, for water, for air, for the dear earth itself underfoot." Seventy-five years after they were first published, Beston's words are more true than ever.

This coloring book will delight fans of classic fairy tales, as rendered by Korean illustrator Rosa’s dazzling artwork. The book contains extra-thick craft paper, and is ideal for colorists of all ages and skill levels. As a bonus feature, four Hansel & Gretel bookmarks are included to cut-out and color. "A Gambling Man" is a portrait of Charles II, exploring his elusive nature through the lens of these ten vital years - and a portrait of a vibrant, violent, pulsing world, in which the risks the king took forged the fate of the nation, on the brink of the modern world. This volume brings together all of Berryman's poetry, except for his epic "The The Outermost House: A Year of Life on the Great Beach of Cape Cod free ebook Dream Songs," ranging from his earliest unpublished poem (1934) to those written in the last months of his life (1972). A definitive edition of one of America's most distinguished poets.
