🧔 Happy Publication Day to THE ESSAYS OF HENRY DAVID THOREAU, selected and edited by Lewis Hyde!⁠
⁠
📖 Hyde deems Thoreau’s writing prophetic because “the prophet speaks of things that will be true in the future because they are true in all time.” Thoreau’s revelatory writing coupled with the luminous insights from Hyde—“one of our country’s greatest public thinkers” (Lawrence Weschler)—make THE ESSAYS OF HENRY DAVID THOREAU essential reading at a moment in our nation’s history when his subversiveness, foresight, and lyricism are badly needed.
