Jongensjaren
John Muir is elf als zijn vader in 1849 besluit om van Dunbar in Schotland te emigreren naar Amerika en er een stuk land te kopen in de onontgonnen wildernis van Wisconsin. Na een overtocht van ruim zes weken over de oceaan komt John terecht in een nieuwe wereld met een ongekende rijkdom aan planten en dieren en een waar vogelparadijs. Hier is geen school en geen samenleving meer, alleen natuur. Jongensjaren is geschreven door een van 's werelds grootste natuurbeschermers. Muirs natuurboeken bereiken een miljoenenpubliek en tal van parken, bossen, meren, straten en scholen zijn naar hem vernoemd. Wat Muir actueel maakt is dat zijn natuurfilosofie aansluit bij de herwaardering, ook in religieuze kringen, van dieren naar een meer aan de mens gelijkwaardige plaats in het ecosysteem. Maar vóór alles is het gewoon het onvergetelijke levensverhaal van een Schotse jongen die op een avond te horen krijgt: 'je hoeft geen huiswerk meer te maken, morgen gaan we naar Amerika!' en die de oceaan oversteekt naar een avontuurlijk pioniersbestaan in de Amerikaanse wildernis. Ingeleid door Pauline van de Ven, winnaar van de Halewijn oeuvreprijs.
