Anotace knihy

Here at last is a book about Walden that takes Thoreau on his own terms. Raymond Tripp's Two Fish on One Hook is a transcendental study of Thoreau's transcendental work. It offers us the bootstrap task of doing as Thoreau does, exhorting us to follow the patterns Thoreau sets up in Walden and to approach his work as "an act of communication" -- one that urges us to listen, to hear, and to act upon what he has to say: one that becomes a transformative experience.It is all too easy, however, to admire Thoreau's art and miss his meaning. Thoreau has constructed Walden on transparent overlays of meaning -- biography, literature, philosophy, and religion -- but in whatever way we read it, Thoreau's words are what work the communicative transformation of his readers. Form, meaning, and language are Thoreau's instruments for unearthing the truth, and Tripp steadfastly follows their spiraling movement down the concentric intricacies of Thoreau's message through the broad structure of Walden, section by section, chapter by chapter, sentence by sentence, word by word until at last they merge, patterns and purposes, form and idea, heaven and earth, at Walden Pond.Thoreau does tell us how to get in and out of Walden. His direction: "To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit...." It is Raymond Tripp who has made the map.Raymond P. Tripp, Jr. is a professor emeritus at the University of Denver, where he has taught American Literature and Medieval Studies.
