Excursions (Anthem Travel Classics) de Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 oct 2007

A selection of ruminative nature writing on walking and the beauty of New England, here Thoreau's characteristically wide-ranging and philosophical style offers a multitude of fascinating observations. Excursions presents Thoreau's most studied and expansive collection of writing on the natural world. An early advocate of conservationism, he discusses here, in mesmerising prose, the complex but essential relationship between man and nature. This edition includes a remarkable Biographical Sketch by Thoreau's great contemporary and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Notă biografică

Naturalist, writer, poet, and philosopher Henry David Thoreau was an American who lived from July 12, 1817, to May 6, 1862. His most well-known work, Walden, is a meditation on simple life in the natural world. He was a forerunner of ecological theory and environmental history, two major influences on contemporary environmentalism. In Concord, Massachusetts, Henry David Thoreau was born into a humble family. Between 1833 and 1837, he attended Harvard College for his studies. He worked as a land surveyor and continued to keep a two million-word notebook for 24 years, recording ever-more-detailed observations on the natural history of the town, which covered an area of 26 square miles (67 square kilometers). Thoreau never got married and never had kids. He proposed to Ellen Sewall, then 18 years old, when he was 23 years old, but she declined on the advice of her father. On May 6, 1862, Henry David Thoreau passed away. He was 44. After contracting TB in 1835, he intermittently experienced its effects. His final words, spoken while he was still conscious, were "Now comes good sailing," followed by the words "moose" and "Indian." In Concord, Massachusetts' Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, he was laid to rest.
