À propos de cet audio

 Join nature enthusiast John Muir as he embarks on a transformative journey through California’s breathtaking Sierra Nevada range during the summer of 1869. From the picturesque landscapes of French Bar to the serene shores of Mono Lake and the majestic Yosemite Valley, Muir was captivated by the wonders of the natural world. He marveled at the intricate lives of the smallest “insect people” and found inspiration in the resilience of ancient Juniper trees clinging to life in the most unlikely places. This recording not only celebrates the 140th anniversary of that remarkable summer but also honors Muir’s lifelong dedication to the preservation of the Sierra, encapsulating his belief that “the clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” Born in Dunbar, Scotland, and raised in Wisconsin, USA, John Muir (1838-1914) left an indelible mark on environmentalism and our understanding of nature.
