Book excerpt: A special edition of “the most remarkable book in the American canon”—Thoreau’s timeless ode to the beauty of a life lived simply and among nature (Bill McKibben) In 1845 Henry David Thoreau left his pencil-manufacturing business and began building a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts. This lyrical yet practical-minded book is at once the record of the twenty-six months Thoreau spent in withdrawal from society—an account of the daily details of building, planting, hunting, cooking, and always, observing nature—and a declaration of independence from the oppressive mores and spiritual sterility of the world he left behind. Elegant, funny, profound, and quietly searching, Walden remains the most persuasive American argument for simplicity of life and clarity of conscience.

Book Synopsis Walden Pond by : W. Barksdale Maynard
Download or read book Walden Pond written by W. Barksdale Maynard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-02-12 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no other natural setting has as much literary, spiritual, and environmental significance for Americans as Walden Pond. Some 700,000 people visit the pond annually, and countless others journey to Walden in their mind, to contemplate the man who lived there and what the place means to us today. Here is the first history of the Massachusetts pond Thoreau made famous 150 years ago. W. Barksdale Maynard offers a lively and comprehensive account of Walden Pond from the early nineteenth century to the present. From Thoreau's first visit at age 4 in 1821--"That woodland vision for a long time made the drapery of my dreams"--to today's efforts both to conserve the pond and allow public access, Maynard captures Walden Pond's history and the role it has played in social, cultural, literary, and environmental movements in America. Along the way Maynard details the geography of the pond; Thoreau's and Emerson's experiences of Walden over their lifetimes; the development of the cult of Thoreau and the growth of the pond as a site of literary and spiritual pilgrimages; rock star Don Henley's Walden Woods Project and the much publicized battle to protect the pond from developers in the 1980s; and the vitally important ecological symbol Walden Pond has become today. Exhaustively researched, vividly written, and illustrated with historical photographs and the most detailed maps of Thoreau country yet created, Walden Pond: A History reveals how an ordinary pond has come to be such an extraordinarily inspiring symbol.

This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated edition of Walden features 66 photographs by Herbert W. Gleason, one of the great American landscape photographers of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Gleason, who had a special love for what he called "the simple beauty of New England," became interested in Thoreau's work when commissioned in 1906 by the Houghton Mifflin Company to illustrate their edition of The Writings of Henry David Thoreau. With the help of the few surviving people who had known Thoreau, Gleason searched out the exact places Thoreau had described—all of them still looking much as they had when Thoreau knew them—and photographed them. Gleason became so interested in the project that he continued to photograph Thoreau country for more than forty years. Most of the photographs reproduced here were chosen by Gleason himself for an edition of Walden he planned but never published. Originally published in 1973.

Part memoir, part personal quest, the book is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, where Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. Civil Disobedience or Resistance to Civil Government is an essay by Thoreau in which he argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Walking is a transcendental essay in which Thoreau talks about the importance of nature to mankind, and how people cannot survive without nature, physically, mentally, and spiritually, yet we seem to be spending more and more time entrenched by society. For Thoreau walking is a self-reflective spiritual act that occurs only when you are away from society, that allows you to learn about who you are, and find other aspects of yourself that have been chipped away by society. Content: Books Walden (Life in the Woods) Civil Disobedience Walking Biography Thoreau by Ralph Waldo Emerson Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, surveyor, and historian.

This book was released on 2024-03-25 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Walden" is structured as a personal narrative, interspersed with philosophical reflections, observations of nature, and social commentary. Thoreau discusses his reasons for living in solitude, his interactions with nature, and his experiments in self-sufficiency. He advocates for a return to a more deliberate and mindful way of living, away from the distractions and materialism of modern society. "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" is an essay also written by Thoreau, which was first published in 1849. In this essay, Thoreau argues for the moral obligation of individuals to resist unjust laws and government actions through nonviolent protest and civil disobedience. Thoreau famously refused to pay his poll tax as a protest against the Mexican-American War and slavery, which led to his brief imprisonment. This experience inspired "Civil Disobedience." The essay discusses the individual's responsibility to follow their conscience and principles, even if it means opposing the government. Thoreau emphasizes the importance of personal integrity and the need to prioritize one's own moral convictions over obedience to unjust laws. "Civil Disobedience" has had a significant influence on political and social movements advocating for justice and equality, including Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent resistance movement in India and the civil rights movement in the United States led by figures like Martin Luther King Jr.

Book Synopsis Wonderful Investigations by : Dan Beachy-Quick
Download or read book Wonderful Investigations written by Dan Beachy-Quick and published by Milkweed Editions. This book was released on 2012 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this illuminating collection of prose, Dan Beachy-Quick broaches "a hazy line, a faulty boundary" between our daily world, "where we who have appetites must fill our mouths, we who have thoughts must fill our minds," and another side, "within the world and beyond it, where appetite isn't to be sated, where desire is not to be fulfilled, and where thoughts refuse to lead to knowledge." Touching on the works of Emerson, Thoreau, and Proust, among others, Beachy-Quick explores the problem of duality -- the separation of the mind and body, word and referent, intelligence and mystery -- striving throughout to overcome this false separation, and to celebrate the notion that "wonder is the fact that the world has never ceased to be real." Combining a rich critical intelligence and the lyricism that has made him "one of America's most significant young poets" (Lyn Hejinian), Wonderful Investigations is a wonder unto itself"--Front flap.
