Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters From Labrador
England and in America. The fact that so little can be found relating to the country would be a sufficient ex cuse for re-printing Mr. Burgin's letters; but it is believed that the articles themselves have value not only on account of the freshness of their matter, but the charm of their style. Although written without thought of permanent publication and with no effort at orderly arrangement, the reader cannot fail to be struck by the vividness of the descriptions and the aptness of the language in these compositions. There are occa sioual sentences which haunt the mind like music. Mr. Durgin inherited from both parents a passionate love of Nature and a sensitive appreciation of its beauties; and he was endowed with the rarer gift of power to paint the scenes that he loved so well in a way to make eu during mental pictures for others. F. M. A.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the author's series of expeditions to the Labrador Peninsula. Seeking respite from a chronic illness that afflicted him for years, the author ventured north to hunt and fish, and in doing so discovered a raw, icy land with a proud and resilient people. It is a world where wind-tossed icebergs dwarf the boats of the passing fishermen, and the echoes of solitude carry across desolate, barren lands. Ice floes glitter in a myriad of colors, from greens to golds to blues, and the midnight sun paints the sky in hues of red and orange. In this harsh landscape, the author encounters a spirit of profound faith and independence. And with every journey he embarks on deeper into Labrador's remote wilds, he sheds more light on a land lost to time, where the spirit of adventure lingers in the hearts of its people, frozen in the icy beauty of the unforgiving landscapes. As such, this book serves as both a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit and to the unfathomable wonder of the natural world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334210921_0
