This new paperback edition of Henry D. Thoreau’s compelling account of Cape Cod contains the complete, definitive text of the original. Introduced by American poet and literary critic Robert Pinsky—himself a resident of Cape Cod—this volume contains some of Thoreau’s most beautiful writings.


In the plants, animals, topography, weather, and people of Cape Cod, Thoreau finds 鈥渁nother world鈥 Encounters with the ocean dominate this book, from the fatal shipwreck of the opening chapter to his later reflections on the Pilgrims鈥 landing and reconnaissance. Along the way, Thoreau relates the experiences of fishermen and oystermen, farmers and salvagers, lighthouse-keepers and ship captains, as well as his own intense confrontations with the sea as he travels the land’s outermost margins. Chronicles of exploration, settlement, and survival on the Cape lead Thoreau to reconceive the history of New England—and to recognize the parochialism of history itself.
