Weaving together memoir, philosophical reflection, and his always keen observations of the natural world, Loren Eiseleyâ€™s essays in The Night Country explore those moments, often dark and unexpected, when chance encounters disturb our ordinary understandings of the universe. The naturalist here seeks neither â€œsalvation in factsâ€ nor solace in wild places: discovering an old bone or a nest of wasps, or remembering the haunted spaces of his lonely Nebraska childhood, Eiseley recognizes what he calls â€œthe ghostliness of myself,â€ his own mortality, and the paradoxes of the evolution of consciousness.
