The Highland Light/Night and Moonlight (annotated)

by Henry David Thoreau

Overview

The Highland Light/Night and Moonlight is a classic nature essay compilation by the great American naturalist and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau. Is not the midnight like Central Africa to most of us? Are we not tempted to explore it, -to penetrate to the shores of its Lake Tchad, and discover the source of its Nile, perchance the Mountains of the Moon? Who knows what fertility and beauty, moral and natural, are there to be found?

About the Author

Massachusetts native Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was a leading member of the American Transcendentalist movement, whose faith in nature was tested while Thoreau lived in a homemade hut at Walden Pond between 1845 and 1847. While there, Thoreau worked on the two books published in his lifetime: Walden and A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. The Maine Woods, Cape Cod, Excursions, and other works were published posthumously.
