Description

Notes from the Rainforest is the diary of two months spent in a cabin on Vancouver Island. The diary consists of entries written at night in the silence of the forest. The entries -- absorbing, provocative, playful, and profound -- range from philosophical aphorisms to acid comments on the state of communism today, the excesses of the American way of life, the characteristics of Canadian culture, and the vagaries of history and human nature.

Author

George Faludy is a refugee scholar, a former political prisoner, a novelist, a memoirist, and first and foremost a major poet whose work is a shrewd, sympathetic, and lyrical commentary on the times. He was born in Hungary but later became a Canadian citizen.
