Description
"Wild Apples, The History of the Apple Tree by Henry David Thoreau, first published in 1862. Thoreau's essay begins with a history of the apple tree, and ends with a meditation on parallels between the wild apple and humanity. The essay were written during a time of great change in Thoreau's environs, as the Massachusetts (USA) of his childhood became increasingly urbanized and industrialized." ----- "Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862) was an American author, essayist, poet, philosopher, naturalist, surveyor, historian and leading transcendentalist. He is best known for his book Walden (1854). He was deeply interested in the idea of survival in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay."
