A Transcendental Journey

"A road-tripping travel memoir that's graced with humor, adventure, and wisdom." -Foreword Clarion Reviews

A Transcendental Journey is the insightful and often funny humorous account of playwright and author Stephen Evans' journey across America, exploring America and American Transcendental Philosophy. Ralph Waldo Emerson's life, thought, and influence is explored through five of his most important essays. These famous works transform the journey, just as the journey transforms the author's experience of Emerson, a combination that made for a life-changing, truly Transcendental journey.

This edition, published to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the journey, includes a new Afterword describing the author's visit to Emerson's home town of Concord, Massachusetts.
