Autorenporträt

John Burroughs (1837-1921) was an American naturalist and nature essayist, active in the U.S. conservation movement. Burroughs' literary style interweaves scientific observation with philosophical contemplation, inviting readers to experience nature with a sense of wonder and reverence. His writing conveyed a pastoral vision of the American countryside and has been credited for influencing the nature writing genre, embracing themes of environmentalism and humanity's place in the natural world. In 'The Last Harvest', Burroughs presents a collection of essays that wax poetically on the cycles of seasons, the beauty of the rural landscape, and the bittersweet reflections on the passage of time. Renowned for his rich and accessible prose, Burroughs cultivated a vast audience through his ability to render the complex patterns of nature into simple, relatable musings. His works serve as a cornerstone for both literary critics and conservationists, reflecting the intersection of human experience with the environment. As a testament to his legacy, the John Burroughs Association continues to honor outstanding nature writing through the John Burroughs Medal. Though 'The Last Harvest' is a poignant entry in Burroughs' oeuvre, it is but one example of his enduring commitment to encouraging society's harmonious coexistence with nature.
