Freeman's: Arrival

<div>The classic meditation on creativity and the natural world&#8220;For years I have carried this book. . . with me on travels to reread, ponder, envy. In prose of classic gravity, precision, and delicacy, Fowles addresses matters of final importance.&#8221; &#8212;W. S. Merwin, Los Angeles Times Book Review&#8220;The Tree is the fullest and finest exploration I&#8217;ve ever read of how the useless delights to be discovered in nature can ripen into the practice of art.&#8221; &#8212;Lewis Hyde, author of The GiftFirst published a generation ago, The Tree is renowned English novelist John Fowles's provocative meditation on the connection between the natural world and human creativity, and a powerful argument against taming the wild. In it, Fowles recounts his own childhood in England and describes how he rebelled against his Edwardian father&#8217;s obsession with the &#8220;quantifiable yield&#8221; of well-pruned fruit trees and came to prize instead the messy, purposeless beauty of nature left to its wildest.The Tree is an inspiring, even life-changing book, one that reaffirms our connection to nature and reminds us of the pleasure of getting lost, the merits of having no plan, and the wisdom of following one&#8217;s nose wherever it may lead&#8212;in life as much as in art.This special 30th anniversary edition includes an introduction by Barry Lopez.</div>
