The Abundance - The Canons

Lyrical meditation on nature's fragile beauty.

If your heart finds solace in the raw beauty of the natural world, Dillard's "The Abundance" is a kind of balm. Her prose is like a finely-tuned instrument, drawing out both the awe-inspiring and the heart-wrenching. Reading Dillard, it's as if you're right there with her, witnessing the magic and the sorrow woven through the fabric of the natural landscape. It's a book that doesn't just describe but evokes, deeply resonating for the contemplative soul.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Annie Dillard has spent a lifetime examining the world around her with eyes wide open, drinking in all things intensely and relentlessly. Whether observing a sublime lunar eclipse or a moth consumed in a candle flame, the trembling of lily pads on a pond or hundreds of red-winged blackbirds taking flight, Dillard’s awe at the fragility of the natural world rejuvenates and inspires pleasure and heartache. Precise in language and deeply meditative in spirit, this is a landmark collection from one of America’s masters.
