Hal Borland's

Autor Hal Borland Editat de Barbara Dodge Borland
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 apr 2020
For 37-plus years, celebrated nature writer Hal Borland penned over 1,700 natural history "outdoor editorial" essays for the Sunday edition of The New York Times. The original articles entranced readers with vivid and inspiring depictions of the natural world beyond the big city. Or, as Borland himself wrote with characteristic humility, they were "a weekly report on what's going on up country." Released posthumously in 1979, Twelve Moons of the Year contains a selection of 365 of Borland's best short pieces, hand-picked by the author and his wife, Barbara Dodge Borland. Organized almost like an almanac following the seasons of the Native American lunar calendar, each dated entry represents one day of the year and conveys an observation or morsel of fundamental wisdom about the natural world and the great outdoors. With his welcome wit and friendly style, Borland conveys the spirit and essence of each changing season and its special moons. The book sparkles with small and large observational gems. Find out why Borland has been beloved by readers for generations.

Notă biografică

Hal Borland's first outdoor essay appeared in The New York Times in the fall of 1941 and since then he has published some 1,200 more, many of them having been reprinted in anthologies and English textbooks. The essays have continued through the years to draw a large reader mail-from all over the United States and occasionally from abroad.Mr. Borland and his wife, author Barbara Dodge Borland, have lived for the past several years on their farm in Connecticut's lower Berkshire Hills. He was born in Nebraska; much of his boyhood was spent on a homestead in eastern Colorado - recaptured memorably in one of his most popular books, High, Wide and Lonesome. He was graduated from the Columbia School of Journalism and received a Litt.D. degree from the University of Colorado in 1944.Hal Borland has written another book of outdoor essays, This Hill. This Valley; three novels, When the Legends Die. The Seventh Winter, and The Amulet; a book about his dog Pat, The Dog Who Came to Stay; and a tale of the first Christmas, The Youngest Shepherd.
