Sinossi

In "Steep Trails," John Muir offers a captivating exploration of the American wilderness, weaving together personal recollections, philosophical musings, and vivid descriptions of nature's grandeur. His lyrical prose illuminates the intricate beauty of landscapes ranging from the Sierra Nevada to the Canadian Rockies, detailing not only the physical world but also the spiritual connection Muir felt with nature. This work emerges from the rich tradition of American Romanticism, reflecting the transcendental belief in nature's power to enlighten and uplift the human spirit, while also serving as an early advocacy for environmental conservation. John Muir, often hailed as the 'Father of the National Parks,' was profoundly influenced by his extensive travels and deep-rooted appreciation for the natural world. His experiences as a naturalist and activist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries informed his passionate writings. Muir's commitment to preserving the wilderness of America led him to articulate the profound relationship between humans and the environment, making his insights not only personal but also universal. "Steep Trails" is an essential read for anyone captivated by the beauty of nature or interested in environmental conservation. Muir's reflections invite readers to see the world through the eyes of a devoted naturalist, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the wild places we often take for granted.

    Surely enough has been written about F. Scott Fitzgerald, the man who coined "the Jazz Age" and symbolized the Roaring Twenties, whose very name conjures up a meteoric rise and an equally spectacular fall? But the better question might be, why has so much ink been spent on a writer who completed only four novels, who fell from grace in the 1930s only to be resurrected twenty years later? The answer, according to the cultural critic Arthur Krystal, "is the problem that is Fitzgerald." 
     
     
     
    Drawn to the glitter of fame but aspiring to the empyrean heights of Joseph Conrad and James Joyce, Fitzgerald careened from the perfection of The Great Gatsby to the hack world of Hollywood screenwriting, penning stories that were either brilliant distillations of the age or superficial works of fiction. Like America itself, Fitzgerald was a work in progress, a self-created and conflicted human being striving for ideals that neither he nor the nation could ever live up to. 
     
     
     
    In this unusual biography Krystal gives us not only the peripatetic and turbulent life of a cultural icon but also the intellectual sweep of a period in history that created our modern America. Some Unfinished Chaos delivers a nuanced portrait of a man whose various sides embodied the trends, passions, and pursuits of the imperfect society that both glorified and dismissed him.
