Bücher von Henry David Thoreau

Do you want to read Walden and Civil Disobedience? If so then keep reading...In 1845, Thoreau moved to a cabin that he built with his own hands along the shores of Walden Pond in Massachusetts. Shedding the trivial ties that he felt bound much of humanity, Thoreau reaped from the land both physically and mentally, and pursued truth in the quiet of nature. In Walden, he explains how separating oneself from the world of men can truly awaken the sleeping self. Thoreau holds fast to the notion that you have not truly existed until you adopt such a lifestyle-and only then can you reenter society, as an enlightened being.What are you waiting for Walden and Civil Disobedience is one click away, select the "Buy Now" button in the top right corner NOW!

"This is a delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense, and imbibes delight through every pore. I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself."Thoreau lived in his Walden camp but two years, 1845-1847, and, as his narrative clearly shows, by no means exiled himself from home and companions. His hermitage was within easy walking distance of Concord; and, though his seclusion meant privacy at times, he was by no means debarred from society. The life in the woods was a characteristic expression of his stout independence of condition since the act was in a way unique, it transferred something of its unique property to the book which recorded it, and the book is more closely identified with Thoreau's fame, has done more to give him distinction, than any other of his writings.This story, which is considered one of the greatest works of American literature, is a true ecological pamphlet whose content focuses on a much needed return to nature in every sphere of our life.This edition has a beautiful layout with a font size designed to make it easy to read.

"Fasziniert von der Idee, die Zusammenarbeit mit einem bösen System zu verweigern, war ich so tief bewegt, dass ich das Werk mehrmals wieder las. Ich kam zu der Überzeugung, dass die Nicht-Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bösen ebenso eine moralische Verpflichtung ist, wie die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Guten. Kein anderer hat sich so wortgewandt und leidenschaftlich dafür eingesetzt, diese Idee zu vermitteln, wie Henry David Thoreau."(Martin Luther King)"Ich [...] empfahl das Studium von Thoreau allen meinen Freunden [...].
