Produktinformationen zu „Walden (First Edition) (The Norton Library) / The Norton Library Bd.0 (ePub)“
Walden (1854), Henry David Thoreau's landmark meditation on the importance of solitude, reflection, and proximity to nature, is presented in this Norton Library edition alongside three of the author's most influential political essays: Civil Disobedience," "Slavery in Massachusetts," and "A Plea for Captain John Brown." An introduction by Jedediah Britton-Purdy (Columbia University) reacquaints Thoreau to the contemporary reader with a nuanced account of his historical and intellectual contexts, inviting a new generation to connect with the transcendentalist's timeless philosophy.
Autoren-Porträt von Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau spent almost his entire life in the village of Concord, Massachusetts, where he was born in 1817. After graduating from Harvard College in 1837, he developed a deep friendship with the writer and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, the foremost figure in the Transcendentalist movement. Emerson's emphasis on the cultivation of intuition and experience as keys to personal and social enlightenment profoundly influenced Thoreau. In 1845, Thoreau built a small cabin on a parcel of land Emerson owned near Walden Pond, where he lived for most of two years, seeking a new relationship to nature, society, and his own self. His experiences there are the raw material of his masterpiece, Walden, or Life in the Woods. Although he was first and last a writer and outdoorsman, Thoreau worked as a surveyor and handyman and was an active abolitionist and opponent of war and imperialism. He died in 1862 of tuberculosis.
