Publisher's Synopsis
""Story Of My Heart: My Autobiography"" is a book written by the English nature writer, Richard Jefferies, and was first published in 1901. The book is an autobiographical account of Jefferies' life, including his childhood, his struggles with poverty and ill health, and his eventual success as a writer. Jefferies' writing style is highly descriptive and poetic, and he uses his experiences in nature to explore deeper philosophical questions about life, death, and the meaning of existence. Throughout the book, he reflects on his own mortality and the fleeting nature of life, and he expresses a deep reverence for the natural world and its beauty. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Jefferies' life and worldview. Some of the key themes that emerge throughout the book include the importance of solitude and reflection, the transformative power of nature, and the connection between the human spirit and the natural world. Overall, ""Story Of My Heart: My Autobiography"" is a deeply personal and introspective work that offers a unique perspective on the life and thoughts of one of England's most celebrated nature writers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection between literature, philosophy, and the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
