Gleason. In the summer of 1869, John Muir, a young Scottish immigrant, joined a crew of shepherds in the foothills of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains.  The diary he kept while tending sheep formed the heart of this book and was later published in 1911 in book form.   \u003cem\u003eMy\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eFirst Summer in the Sierra\u003c\/em\u003e was written in the solitude of the great forests, on the summits of the lonely domes and peaks of the Sierra Mountains.   The beauty and freshness of the mountains is wonderfully reflected in this book, which seems to hold within its pages all the brightness and sunny geniality of a Sierra morning warming towards noon.  Aside from the enthusiasm for the new world opening before him, which is perhaps the dominant note of the book, one is struck chiefly by Mr. Muir's strong sense of the harmony and unity of Nature.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sensitive rendering of the natural landscape, occasionally poetic, has become a classic account in the ecological history of the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martino Fine Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52657703190895,"sku":"9781684223275","price":99.97,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/168422327X.jpg?v=1770819088"},{"product_id":"among-the-enemy","title":"Among the Enemy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough many Union soldiers wrote about their experiences in the American Civil War, few had the vantage point of William Horton Kimball, a member of the First Michigan Engineers and Mechanics. As a military engineer, Kimball spent most of his time behind the major lines of conflict and often worked among civilians who sympathized with the enemy. In \u003cem\u003eAmong the Enemy: A Michigan Soldier's Civil War Journal,\u003c\/em\u003e author Mark Hoffman presents Kimball's journal as a unique window into wartime experience.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n  Kimball was a prolific writer, and his journal is full of detailed accounts of expeditions into a hostile countryside, the bitter war against guerillas, and of the civilians caught in the middle of a traditional war waged with nontraditional means. He comments freely and openly on the strengths and weaknesses of his officers and comrades caught up in the same war.  At the same time, Kimball provides moving accounts of when the Engineers were thrown into the line of battle at Perryville and Lavergne and proved themselves as soldiers capable of traditional combat. Through Kimball's account, readers can chart the important evolution of Union war policy regarding occupied populations, as well as how the American views of warfare broke down when combat moved from battlefield to countryside and soldiers in the rear became important targets for enemy action. Civil War historian Mark Hoffman introduces Kimball's writings and provides some background on Kimball's life as a soldier. He accompanies the journal entries with illustrations and maps.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n Kimball's account reminds readers that there was a time when Americans who honored the same founders and national holidays were seeking to kill each other in a bitter war behind the lines of traditional armies.

But there have been few opportunities for his readers to become familiar with the full dimensions of his mind, with the thoughts and perceptions that lie just outside the matter of his poetry. \u003cp\u003e\"Sorties\" brings together the contents of a journal kept by Dickey for several years and six discerning essays on poetry and the creative process. The journal follows Dickey's mind as it alights on a wide array of topics, ranging from the work of his colleagues to the plotting of a new novel, from the onset of old age to pride over accomplishments in archery and guitar playing. Dickey can be blunt in his opinions, as when he states that \"a second-rate writer like Norman Mailer will sit around wondering what on earth it is that Hemingway had that Mailer might possibly be able to get.\" But the journal also reveals a great capacity for sympathy, as when Dickey tells of his father's long illness, and a revealing candor--\"I am Lewis,\" he writes of his novel Deliverance, \"every word is true.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe journal is at its most revealing, however, when Dickey discusses the craft of poetry. \"It is good for a poet to remember,\" he writes, \"that the human mind, though in some ways very complicated, is in some others very simple.\" This awareness that poetry must understand the simplicities of human existence is a recurring concern for Dickey, and he writes with disdain of the \"brilliant things\" that too often clog poetry, the stale self-absorption that warps the perceptions of many poets. In the essays that make up the second part of the book, Dickey also focuses on poetry, exploring the relation of the poet to his works, the promise of a younger generation of poets, and the place of Theodore Roethke as the greatest American poet. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWide-ranging and acute, \"Sorties\" opens up for the reader the discriminating mind that lies behind some of the most accomplished and memorable poetry written in America in this century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Longleaf Services on behalf of LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52668278178159,"sku":"9780807111406","price":183.5,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9384\/9711\/files\/0807111406.jpg?v=1770933088"}],"url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/collections\/memorias-e-diarios.oembed","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
