Über diesen Titel

 In the early 20th century, Frederick Philip Grove embarked on a remarkable journey when he settled in a remote corner of Manitoba. Working as a teacher over 30 miles from home, he faced the challenges of commuting by horse-and-wagon or horse-and-sleigh every weekend. His experiences during seven of these arduous trips are beautifully chronicled in “Over Prairie Trails,” published in 1922. Grove’s keen observations of the natural world—essential for survival on the unyielding prairie—capture the shifting moods of the skies, the biting winds, and the enveloping fog and snow. While the book serves as a rich repository of documentary nature writing, it also transcends mere observation. Grove artfully crafts his narrative, transforming his journeys into epic tales of adventure, likening himself to an Odyssean hero battling the elements to return to his family. At times, his reflections delve into the essence of observation, consciousness, and the intricate web of meaning we weave from our experiences. “Over Prairie Trails” stands as a pivotal work in Canadian literature, shaping the portrayal of nature—especially the harsh beauty of the Canadian winter—for generations to come.
