About This Book
In the spirit of Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, here are Thoreau's reflections
on God and spirituality.
Henry David Thoreau is famous for the literary excellence of his political and
nature writings. But his friend Harrison Blake understood that the "true
significance of [Thoreau's] life" was in fact spiritual, and he presciently
asked the then-little-known Thoreau for guidance in finding a path of his own.
The result was a regular exchange of letters for the remaining thirteen years of
Thoreau's life, charting the evolution of his skills as a writer and thinker.
The possibilities and limits of spirituality, the role of vocation in developing
one's spiritual life, the importance of a direct relationship between the
individual and God?Thoreau discusses these and more in his letters to Blake. The
fifty letters, assembled and annotated here for the first time in their own
volume by Bradley P. Dean?who has made the editing of Thoreau's manuscripts his
life's work?are by turns earnest, oracular, witty, playful, practical, and
deeply insightful and inspiring.
