The American Seasons (Chinese Edition)

Edwin Way Teale and his wife Nellie headed south to Florida in 1947 to begin what proved to be the first of four long trips through the four American seasons. The end of that trail was not reached until 1962. The first book of these travels, North with the Spring , was published in 1951 to national acclaim. This was followed by Autumn Across America in 1956, Journey into Summer in 1960, and finally Wandering Through Winter in 1965. The culmination of the four-volume set was the award to Mr. Teale of a Pulitzer Prize.The American Seasons is a one-volume rich harvest of chapters selected by Mr. Teale, from the four volumes, with a fascinating Introduction by the author of the story behind his works. Additionally, there are sixty-four pages of superb photographs taken by Mr. Teale during his travels.This handsome volume, designed by Avery Fisher, will delight the hosts of Teale enthusiasts who recognize him as this country's outstanding nature writer. Mr. Weeks summed up this feeling in the Atlantic Monthly :"Reading Mr. Teale, I find myself wishing I could communicate to other Americans how much this one man's observation arouses and delectifies out appreciation of this country. Time the merciless changer, destroys so rapidly; this is our heritage, and there is so little time to know."--from dust jacket of Book Club Edition Read more
