SynopsisOne of the great books of American letters and a masterpiece of reflective philosophizing. Accounts of Thoreau's daily life on the shores of Walden Pond outside Concord, Massachusetts, are interwoven with musings on the virtues of self-reliance and individual freedom, on society, government, and other topics., Accounts of Thoreau's daily life on the shores of Walden Pond outside Concord, Massachusetts, are interwoven with musings on the virtues of self-reliance and individual freedom, on society, government, and other topics., Nature was a form of religion for naturalist, essayist, and early environmentalist Henry David Thoreau (1817-62). In communing with the natural world, he wished to "live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and ... learn what it had to teach." Toward that end Thoreau built a cabin in the spring of 1845 on the shores of Walden Pond -- on land owned by Ralph Waldo Emerson -- outside Concord, Massachusetts. There he observed nature, farmed, built fences, surveyed, and wrote in his journal. One product of his two-year sojourn was this book -- a great classic of American letters. Interwoven with accounts of Thoreau's daily life (he received visitors and almost daily walked into Concord) are mediations on human existence, society, government, and other topics, expressed with wisdom and beauty of style. Walden offers abundant evidence of Thoreau's ability to begin with observations on a mundane incident or the minutiae of nature and then develop these observations into profound ruminations on the most fundamental human concerns. Credited with influencing Tolstoy, Gandhi, and other thinkers, the volume remains a masterpiece of philosophical reflection. A selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative.

A copy in every room.
I do. Well, practically. Definitely should! I might just. If you count the garage and the tool shed I need only purchase 3 more copies to have 'Walden, or, Life in the Woods,' the book written by Henry David Thoreau in every room in my house. That being said, I can proclaim it is a book, so compelling you never want to be without. Henry David Thoreau's words you will crave. I carry a copy with me, in hopes I run into my old English Professor, that he might read some to me. Henry David Thoreau's words read orally, by a professional who knows how to control pitch, mood, tone, stress and volume is exhilarating. Refreshingly polemical and polemically refreshing. Enjoy!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
