Autorenporträt
John Muir (1838-1914) was a towering figure in American environmentalism, an impassioned advocate for the conservation of wilderness areas and the founder of the Sierra Club. Born in Scotland, Muir immigrated with his family to the United States in 1849, settling in Wisconsin. He would go on to study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, though he never graduated. Muir's innate love for the natural world drove him to wander extensively through the American wilderness, capturing his observations and thoughts in his writing, which contributed significantly to an evolving American environmental consciousness. Perhaps best known for his efforts in the establishment of national parks like Yosemite, Muir was also an eloquent writer, whose prose celebrated nature's beauty and sought to evoke a sense of wonder and respect for the natural environs. One of Muir's engaging stories, 'Stickeen' (1897), touches on his adventure with a dog in Alaska, showcasing his storytelling prowess and his belief in the spiritual and moral significance of communing with nature. Muir's writings are a blend of natural history, philosophy, and personal narrative, displaying a literary style that is both lyrical and accessible, revealing his deep reverence for nature and influencing an entire movement towards environmental awareness and conservation. His legacy persists in the ongoing work of the Sierra Club and the protected wilderness areas he fought to preserve.
