Book Synopsis The Outer Beach: A Thousand-Mile Walk on Cape Cod's Atlantic Shore by : Robert Finch
Download or read book The Outer Beach: A Thousand-Mile Walk on Cape Cod's Atlantic Shore written by Robert Finch and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poignant, candid chronicle of a beloved nature writer’s fifty-year relationship with an iconic American landscape. Those who have encountered Cape Cod—or merely dipped into an account of its rich history—know that it is a singular place. Robert Finch writes of its beaches: “No other place I know sears the heart with such a constant juxtaposition of pleasure and pain, of beauty being born and destroyed in the same moment.” And nowhere within its borders is this truth more vivid and dramatic than along the forty miles of Atlantic coast—what Finch has always known as the Outer Beach. The essays here represent nearly fifty years and a cumulative thousand miles of walking along the storied edge of the Cape’s legendary arm. Finch considers evidence of nature’s fury: shipwrecks, beached whales, towering natural edifices, ferocious seaside blizzards. And he ponders everyday human interactions conducted in its environment with equal curiosity, wit, and insight: taking a weeks-old puppy for his first beach walk; engaging in a nocturnal dance with one of the Cape’s fabled lighthouses; stumbling, unexpectedly, upon nude sunbathers; or even encountering out-of-towners hoping an Uber will fetch them from the other side of a remote dune field. Throughout these essays, Finch pays tribute to the Outer Beach’s impressive literary legacy, meditates on its often-tragic history, and explores the strange, mutable nature of time near the ocean. But lurking behind every experience and observation—both pivotal and quotidian—is the essential question that the beach beckons every one of its pilgrims to confront: How do we accept our brief existence here, caught between overwhelming beauty and merciless indifference? Finch’s affable voice, attentive eye, and stirring prose will be cherished by the Cape’s staunch lifers and erstwhile visitors alike, and strike a resounding chord with anyone who has been left breathless by the majestic, unrelenting beauty of the shore.

Book excerpt: In this his first book, Bill Mena takes us on the personal journey of his life, or, as he says, of his two lives. Experience his transition from a semi-monastic life to coping with the pressures and pleasures of secular life. His early youth in the Americas; his schooling and ordination to the priesthood in Europe; his ministry in England and his return to America. Bill lets us into his personal struggle to resolve the conflict in which he found himself, a conflict between his loyalty and wish to serve in the Catholic Church, and his wish to find personal fulfillment. In his own words "The story that follows, then, is the story of my personal journey and rebellion...........my personal rebellion from a good student to a dedicated priest, to a frustrated cleric and eventually to a contented husband." The reader will get a glimpse into the life of one who has experienced equally the rewards of a compelling religious experience and the richness of secular life.

Book Synopsis The Outermost House by : Henry Beston
Download or read book The Outermost House written by Henry Beston and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic nature memoir of Cape Cod in the early twentieth century, “written with simplicity, sympathy, and beauty” (New York Herald Tribune). When Henry Beston returned home from World War I, he sought refuge and healing at a house on the outer beach of Cape Cod. He was so taken by the natural beauty of his surroundings that his two-week stay extended into a yearlong solitary adventure. He spent his time trying to capture in words the wonders of the magical landscape he found himself in thrall to. In The Outermost House, Beston chronicles his experiences observing the migrations of seabirds, the rhythms of the tide, the windblown dunes, and the scatter of stars in the changing summer sky. Beston argued: “The world today is sick to its thin blood for the lack of elemental things, for fire before the hands, for water, for air, for the dear earth itself underfoot.” Nearly a century after publication, Beston’s words are more true than ever.
