About this listen

Step into the quiet mystery of the night with Henry David Thoreau’s Night and Moonlight, a luminous essay that transforms a simple moonlit walk into a meditation on nature, philosophy, and the rhythms of the cosmos.

First published in The Atlantic Monthly in October 1863, Thoreau’s reflective prose captures the wonder of nocturnal landscapes—the still pastures, the fireflies, the symphony of frogs and crickets, and above all, the transformative light of the moon. With characteristic transcendentalist insight, he reveals how the moon stirs tides not only in the oceans, but also in the human spirit.

Narrated with warmth and clarity by Mike Polischuk, this audiobook invites listeners to see the world anew: where shadows are deeper, stars are brighter, and the night itself becomes a companion in thought and reverie.

Perfect for lovers of classic literature, nature writing, and meditative listening, Night and Moonlight is a timeless journey into the poetry of the natural world after dark.
