Henry David Thoreau: 245 books

Thoreau’s friend Ralph Waldo Emerson gathered these letters and poems in 1865. The letters range in subject matter from love, sex, and marriage, to religion, philosophy, and everyday life. Thoreau’s correspondents include his mother, his sisters Helen and Sophia, and Emerson himself.

One of America’s most celebrated naturalists, Thoreau often chose nature over human companionship for comfort. Early Spring in Massachusetts is one of four seasonal volumes culled from his journals and captures the season with Thoreau’s keen eye and appreciation for his surroundings.

Thoreau "betrachtet das, was ihn mit der Natur verknüpft, sein Fühlen und Leiden mit ihr, seine Freude an ihr, seine Vorausahnung ihrer Ergebnisse". Die Aufenthalte im Freien sind seine Inspirationsquelle. Die Farben und Klänge der Natur bringen die Saiten seines Herzens zum Schwingen...

In dieser Sammlung von sowohl klassischen Texten als auch zum Teil auf deutsch noch nicht erschienenen Essays macht Thoreau eindringlich auf die Notwendigkeit persönlicher Verantwortung und höherer Prinzipien aufmerksam, durch die man sich führen kann und muss, wenn die Welt chaotisch und unbegreiflich...

A compelling travel narrative and a meditation on loss, time, and history, A Week on the Concord and Merrimac Rivers was written three years after the death of Thoreau’s brother, John, with whom he made the 1839 river voyage. This account of their journey shares many themes with Thoreau’s classic Walden, exploring self-renewal in nature, spirituality, culture, politics, and religion.

These nine essays, among Thoreau’s most popular writings, grew out of his daily saunters around Concord, Massachusetts. Published only after his death, these early works document Thoreau’s developing eye for natural description. Includes “Walking,” “A Natural History of Massachusetts,” “A...

This brilliant account of Thoreau’s four trips to Cape Cod is often still considered the best book ever written about the area. Chronicling a fatal shipwreck, encounters with the ocean, explorations, and settlement, as well as Thoreau’s reflections on the pilgrims’ landing, Cape Cod has become known as the nautical Walden.

Se Thoreau (1817-1862) é o pai do anarquismo, esse seu pequeno e fulgurante ensaio é o livro do Gênesis. Quando estava na prisăo, depois de discordar do pagamento de impostos, Thoreau redigiu este texto ardente, incontido, ferino e definitivo. "A Desobediência civil" é a Bíblia dos...

Life without Principle se llamó originalmente What Shall it Profit, y fue una conferencia dictada por Thoreau el 6 de diciembre de 1854 en el Hall del Ferrocarril de Rhode Island. Posteriormente, dictó la conferencia cuatro veces más en Massachusetts durante 1855, y una vez más en Nueva Jersey...

Del grupo de notables que a mediados del siglo pasado tuvieron su hogar en la pequeña población de Concord, en Massachusetts, otorgándole con ello una fama literaria a la vez especial y duradera, Thoreau es el único nacido allí. Su vecino Emerson había buscado aquel sitio en su madurez como...

Los bosques de Maine es uno de los relatos más tempranos y detallados del proceso de cambio en el Hinterland americano.
