Críticas:
"The most original argument for wilderness preservation I have encountered."--Washington Post
"Please read this book. It says the most important thing, and with a lovely succinctness. Step off the narrow path, so cleverly engineered for you, into the deep cathedral of the woods-where there are no engineers and the true self abides."--Lydia Millet, author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist LOVE IN INFANT MONKEYS
"Delightful... The real subject of this arboreal excursion is not trees at all, but the importance in art of the unpredictable, the unaccountable, the intuitive, the not discernibly useful."--Atlantic Monthly
"THE TREE defies easy definition and even genre. Whatever else it happens to be-memoir, philosophy, natural history-the book is a kind of forest, and Fowles a masterful field guide. He shows us the hidden place where the woods and literature converge."--Brad Kessler, author of GOAT SONG
"[John Fowles] is a master of style, evident in the ease with which he transforms the abstract into the highly tangible, without sacrificing any of the subtleties."--Christian Science Monitor
"THE TREE is the fullest and finest exploration I've ever read of how the useless delights to be discovered in nature can ripen into the practice of art."--Lewis Hyde, author of THE GIFT
"The Tree is part memoir, part explanation and part warning, one of the most beautiful, succinct and prescient pieces of writing we have."--Los Angeles Times Book Review
"[B]elongs alongside the finest wilderness-rambling narratives."--The New Yorker "Book Bench"
"A revelation."--The Paris Review "Daily"
"A gentle plea for wilderness [and] an argument for art and the imagination."--Chicago Tribune, Editor's Choice

“For years I have carried this book...with me on travels to reread, ponder, envy. In prose of classic gravity, precision, and delicacy, Fowles addresses matters of final importance.”

Finally back in print, here is the 30th anniversary edition of The Tree—the renowned English novelist John Fowles’s (The Magus, The French Lieutenant’s Woman) moving meditation on the connection between the natural world and human creativity. An inspiring modern ecological classic, The Tree is both a powerful argument against taming the wild and a major author’s inspiring and beautifully written defense of “the joys of getting lost,” and of spontaneity in life and art.

Descripción Softcover. Condición: New. The classic meditation on creativity and the natural worldFor years I have carried this book. . . with me on travels to reread, ponder, envy. In prose of classic gravity, precision, and delicacy, Fowles addresses matters of final importance. -W. S. Merwin, Los Angeles Times Book ReviewThe Tree is the fullest and finest exploration Ive ever read of how the useless delights to be discovered in nature can ripen into the practice of art. -Lewis Hyde, author of The GiftFirst published a generation ago, The Tree is renowned English novelist John Fowles's provocative meditation on the connection between the natural world and human creativity, and a powerful argument against taming the wild.In it, Fowles recounts his own childhood in England and describes how he rebelled against his Edwardian fathers obsession with the quantifiable yield of well-pruned fruit trees and came to prize instead the messy, purposeless beauty of nature left to its wildest.The Tree is an inspiring, even life-changing book, one that reaffirms our connection to nature and reminds us of the pleasure of getting lost, the merits of having no plan, and the wisdom of following ones nose wherever it may lead-in life as much as in art.This special 30th anniversary edition includes an introduction by Barry Lopez.
