Publisher's Synopsis

The Stars Are Still There is a memoir written by Stewart Edward White, an American author and conservationist. The book recounts White's experiences as a soldier during World War I and his subsequent struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). White's war experiences left him with a deep sense of disillusionment and loss, and he found solace in nature and the stars above. He spent much of his life exploring the wilderness and writing about his experiences, and in this book he reflects on his journey towards healing and finding meaning in life. The Stars Are Still There is a poignant and introspective work that offers a unique perspective on the effects of war and the power of nature to heal the human spirit.The moment we give the law of complement its full and literal value many puzzling things are explained. Why, for instance, as so many correspondents complain, does help, attention, aid, even just decent interest on the part of our Invisibles-our Guardian Angels so to speak-seem so capricious? Anybody with the slightest experience can report on that. Sometimes we seem wholly abandoned in a mess that one would think must impel the most misanthropic to lend a hand. There is no sense to it-if these Invisibles are really our friends who wish us well. And yet they seem to have the power to help us if they choose.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
