Product Description
The Traveling Tree
Author: Michio Hoshino
Format: Hardcover
Over half a million copies sold in Japan
In this enduring classic, Michio Hoshino shares his reflections on the natural world, and our place within it.
Beautifully written, this book is a collection of Hoshino’s writing published at the peak of his artistic prowess as a writer and photographer, only one year before his career was tragically cut short at the age of 43 by a fatal bear attack in the Kamchatka Peninsula.
First published in Japanese, The Traveling Tree is a literary triumph, available in English for the first time.
‘Hoshino’s prose sits somewhere between Henry David Thoreau’s matter-of-fact observations in Walden and Annie Dillard’s poetical musings in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.’ — Asian Review of Books
