SynopsisEscapist fantasies usually involve the open road, but Bernd Heinrich's dream was to focus on the riches of one small place--a few green acres along Alder Brook just east of the Presidential Mountains. The year begins as he settles into a cabin with no running water and no electricity, built of hand-cut logs he dragged out of the woods with a team of oxen. There, alone except for his pet raven, Jack, he rediscovers the meaning of peace and quiet and harmony with nature--of days spent not filling out forms, but tracking deer, or listening to the sound of a moth's wings.Throughout this year when "the subtle matters and the spectacular distracts," Heinrich brings us back to the drama in small things, when life is lived consciously. His story is that of a man rediscovering what it means to be alive., Heinrich has developed a wide following with such classics as "Ravens in Winter" and "Bumblebee Economics." "A Year in the Maine Woods" is a more personal book, propelled by the kind of restlessness that usually sends writers trekking across continents. Rather than hitting the open road, though, Heinrich looks for answers to life's questions in the unexpected richness of one small place, a few green acres along Alder Brook just east of the Presidential Mountains, which he intends to discover in exquisite detail., "Quirky, unassuming, humorous, enlightening, and just a little bizarre" (Washington Post Book World), Heinrich's chronicle of his year spent alone--except for his pet raven--in a cabin with no running water or electricity in the Maine woods brings readers back to the drama in small things, when life is lived consciously.
