An incisive intellect illumines these dazzling essays on Emerson, Thoreau, Melville and other artists, many translated for the first time.

A Sounding Mirror: Courage and Music in our Time

by Thomas Stumpf (2005)

Highest rating - amazon.com

 

"A fearless attempt to tackle thorny issues. Stumpf is uncompromising in his search for honesty and in his analysis of our responses to music; his prescriptions are tough and demanding, but offer rich rewards. He sheds enormous light on the link between music and spirituality, and offers fascinating comparisons between the two. Enlightened by Stumpf's palpable honesty, integrity and humility, this is a truly outstanding book that will tell you things about yourself, your reactions to music and your spiritual nature that you have never examined."
--F. L. Dunkin Webb, composer

"Many thanks for the collection of your sermon-essays. Such insights and experience, such varied quotes and great footnotes. I am deeply enriched."
--Rev. Carl Scovel, Minister Emeritus, King's Chapel, Boston.

Henry David Thoreau: Cycles and Psyche

by Michael Sperber M.D. (2004)

"This intriguing and very interesting book brings a neuropsychiatric perspective to the well-described mood swings and oddities of personality peculiar to Thoreau's genius. Sperber incorporates literary and mythological perspectives into his understanding of this complex figure."

Elegantly written and filled with surprising insights adds a new chapter to our understanding of Thoreau.”
