Description: The Outermost House by Henry Beston, Pete Smith Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A rediscovered classic of American nature writing: the poetic account of a solitary year observing the wild beauty of Cape Cod. Publisher Description Henry Beston planned to spend only two weeks in his newly built cottage on the outer beach of Cape Cod. As summer drifted into autumn, however, he found himself so entranced by the landscapes rhythms and beauty that he could not bear to leave.Settled in his isolated house facing the North Atlantic, Beston spent a year immersed in the raw, elemental life of the great beach around him. Observing the migrations of seabirds, savage winter storms and the constantly shifting interactions between sea and shore, he wrote of the passing seasons in ecstatic, riveting detail.The Outermost House is a vital precursor to todays prominent nature writers. Impassioned and richly layered, it is a matchless evocation of the spirit of a place and the enduring appeal of the wild.
