"Fasziniert von der Idee, die Zusammenarbeit mit einem b sen System zu verweigern, war ich so tief bewegt, dass ich das Werk mehrmals wieder las.

Kein anderer hat sich so wortgewandt und leidenschaftlich daf r eingesetzt, diese Idee zu vermitteln, wie Henry David Thoreau."

Ny udgave. Henry David Thoreau skrev sit hovedværk, Walden – Livet i skovene, for over hundrede år siden, mens han boede alene i et lille hus ved bredden af skovsøen Walden Pond i Massachusetts. Det er en bog om naturen og menneskenes forhold til den. Præget af sin samtid, men ofte forbløffende moderne i sin tankegang, skriver Thoreau om sit eget eksperiment: at leve to år i skovene. For naturelskere og dem, der er trætte af forurenede byer, er det en lykke at læse Thoreaus bog, der nu genudgives i ny udgave - stadig med Niels Brunses nyoversættelse af teksten fra 2007. Thoreaus poetiske og bidske optegnelser er velkomne og vedkommende i en tid, der trues af økologiske katastrofer.

I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.Published in the mid-19th century, Walden chronicles Henry David Thoreau's life secluded from society as he lived in a small cabin at Walden Pond. One of the most compelling books in American literature, Walden is a reminiscence of self-discovery that resonates even more so in today's hectic world. A journey to self-discovery, Thoreau's two years, two months, and two days spent living in a natural surrounding provides us with the insight to his renewed spirituality and a guide to simple living and self-reliance.Included is Thoreau's famous essay "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience."

Los ensayos cl sicos de Thoreau sobre las virtudes de la autosuficiencia y la libertad individual han tenido relevancia para todas las generaciones durante m s de un siglo.Acepto de todo coraz n el lema: "El mejor gobierno es el que menos gobierna". y me gustar a que se actuara de manera m s r pida y sistem tica. Llevado a cabo, finalmente equivale a esto, que tambi n creo: "Ese gobierno es el mejor que no gobierna en absoluto"; y cuando los hombres est n preparados para ello, ese ser el tipo de gobierno que tendr n. El gobierno es, en el mejor de los casos, un expediente; pero la mayor a de los gobiernos son, por lo general, y todos los gobiernos a veces son inadecuados. Las objeciones que se han presentado contra un ej rcito permanente, y son muchas y pesadas, y merecen prevalecer, tambi n pueden finalmente presentarse contra un gobierno permanente. El ej rcito permanente es solo un brazo del gobierno permanente. El gobierno mismo, que es solo el modo que el pueblo ha elegido para ejecutar su voluntad, es igualmente susceptible de ser abusado y pervertido antes de que el pueblo pueda actuar a trav s de l. Sea testigo de la actual guerra mexicana, el trabajo de comparativamente unos pocos individuos que utilizan el gobierno permanente como su herramienta; porque, al principio, la gente no habr a consentido en esta medida.

Uusi, seikkaperäisillä selityksillä varustettu suomennos!”En usko, että voin ylläpitää terveyttäni ja mielialaani, ellen vietä vähintään neljää tuntia päivässä - ja yleensä enemmänkin - kuljeksimalla metsissä ja kukkuloilla ja niityillä täydellisen vapaana kaikista maallisista sidonnaisuuksista.”Tässä villiyttä ja vapaata vaeltelua ylistävässä kirjasessa Henry David Thoreau (1817-62) tutkiskelee ennen muuta ihmisen ja luonnon välistä yhteyttä. Thoreau kirjoitti omaan luontosuhteeseensa perustuvan koskettavan esseensä alun perin vuonna 1851 luennoksi. Se julkaistiin hänen kuolemansa jälkeen 1862 The Atlantic Monthly -lehdessä ja on sen jälkeen ilmestynyt lukemattomina laitoksina.Kävelystä inspiroi edelleen luonnon ystäviä kaikkialla maailmassa. Viimeisten vuosikymmenien aikana siitä on tullut myös yksi ympäristöajattelun keskeisimpiä innoittajia.Thoreau mielsi patikoinnin olennaisesti henkiseksi toiminnaksi, jonka on tapahduttava luonnonympäristössä, sivistyksen ja kaupunkien hälinän ulkopuolella. Villin luonnon keskellä ihminen pystyy tutkiskelemaan sisintään vailla sidonnaisuuksia. Kävelystä on ohittamaton klassikko kaikille vapaille, villeille ja seikkailuhenkisille luonnon ystäville.”Lyhyesti sanottuna: kaikki hyvät asiat ovat villejä ja vapaita.”Teoksen suomentaja Antti Immonen on filosofi, joka on kääntänyt aiemmin kymmeniä kirjoja eri aloilta, muun muassa useita Thoreaun teoksia.

Walden details Henry David Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. The text is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and-to some degree-a manual for self-reliance.Walden can be seen as performance art, a demonstration of how easy it can be to acquire the four necessities of life. Once acquired, he believed people should then focus their efforts on personal growth. Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. Simple living and self-sufficiency were Thoreau's other goals, and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy, a central theme of the American Romantic Period.

Walden or Life in the Woods By Henry David ThoreauWalden is a book by transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau. The text is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and-to some degree-a manual for self-reliance.First published in 1854, Walden details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau used this time (July 4, 1845 - September 6, 1847) to write his first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. The experience later inspired Walden, in which Thoreau compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development.The book can be seen as performance art, a demonstration of how easy it can be to acquire the four necessities of life. Once acquired, he believed people should then focus their efforts on personal growth.By immersing himself in nature, Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. Simple living and self-sufficiency were Thoreau's other goals, and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy, a central theme of the American Romantic Period.Thoreau makes precise scientific observations of nature as well as metaphorical and poetic uses of natural phenomena. He identifies many plants and animals by both their popular and scientific names, records in detail the color and clarity of different bodies of water, precisely dates and describes the freezing and thawing of the pond, and recounts his experiments to measure the depth and shape of the bottom of the supposedly "bottomless"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.

Henry David Thoreau (see name pronunciation; July 12, 1817 - May 6, 1862) was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher. A leading transcendentalist, he is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay "Civil Disobedience" (originally published as "Resistance to Civil Government"), an argument for disobedience to an unjust state.Thoreau's books, articles, essays, journals, and poetry amount to more than 20 volumes. Among his lasting contributions are his writings on natural history and philosophy, in which he anticipated the methods and findings of ecology and environmental history, two sources of modern-day environmentalism. His literary style interweaves close observation of nature, personal experience, pointed rhetoric, symbolic meanings, and historical lore, while displaying a poetic sensibility, philosophical austerity, and attention to practical detail. He was also deeply interested in the idea of survival in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay; at the same time he advocated abandoning waste and illusion in order to discover life's true essential needs.He was a lifelong abolitionist, delivering lectures that attacked the Fugitive Slave Law while praising the writings of Wendell Phillips and defending the abolitionist John Brown. Thoreau's philosophy of civil disobedience later influenced the political thoughts and actions of such notable figures as Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr.Thoreau is sometimes referred to as an anarchist. Though "Civil Disobedience" seems to call for improving rather than abolishing government--"I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government"--the direction of this improvement contrarily points toward anarchism: "'That government is best which governs not at all;' and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have."

Los cinco ensayos reunidos en este libro exhiben a un Henry David Thoreau que describe la naturaleza con mucha fascinaci n. La Luna, el papel que juegan las semillas en el funcionamiento del mundo biol gico, los fen menos vinculados con los mares y las mareas, la historia de los manzanos, son solo algunos de los temas que aparecen, concatenados, a lo largo del libro. Como ejemplo, la reflexi n de Thoreau, obnubilado por la luz de la Luna, sobre lo que l denomina "el reino de la noche".Los hombres hablan de manera muy superficial acerca de la luz de Luna, como si conocieran bien sus cualidades y las menospreciaran, como si los b hos hablaran de la luz del Sol ( qu saben de esa luz ), pero por lo general esta palabra remite a algo que simplemente no comprenden: ante ella, permanecen en cama y dormidos, por m s que valdr a la pena que estuvieran levantados y bien despiertos para verla.

"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of each." Modernity rules our lives by clock and calendar, dividing the stream of time into units and coordinating every passing moment with the universal globe. Henry David Thoreau subverted both clock and calendar, using them not to regulate time's passing but to open up and explore its presence. This little volume thus embodies, in small compass, Thoreau's own ambition to "live in season"--to turn with the living sundial of the world, and, by attuning ourselves to nature, to heal our modern sense of discontinuity with our surroundings. Ralph Waldo Emerson noted with awe that from flowers alone, Thoreau could tell the calendar date within two days; children remembered long into adulthood how Thoreau showed them white waterlilies awakening not by the face of a clock but at the first touch of the sun. As Thoreau wrote in Walden, "Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is." Drawn from the full range of Thoreau's journals and published writings, and arranged according to season, The Daily Henry David Thoreau allows us to discover the endless variation and surprise to be found in the repetitions of mundane cycles. Thoreau saw in the kernel of each day an earth enchanted, one he honed into sentences tuned with an artist's eye and a musician's ear. Thoreau's world lives on in his writing so that we too may discover, even in a fallen world, a beauty worth defending.
