A Transcendental Journey Stephen Evans

"Any journey to enlightenment is a comedy."

There was no plan. Just an old car, an old map, an old book, and a new life. A Transcendental Journey is the thoughtful and often witty account of playwright and author Stephen Evans' journey across America, encountering natural wonders during the day, and the essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson at night.

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 created a life-altering, truly Transcendental journey.
