Livro Walden

O clássico de Henry David Thoreau, publicado em 1854: um manifesto a favor da natureza e da liberdade. Edição especial, com ilustrações de Deco Farkas, prefácio de Joyce Carol Oates e nota biográfica escrita por Virginia Woolf. Inclui o ensaio "Sobre o dever da desobediência civil". Em conflito com as mudanças trazidas pela Revolução Industrial – na sociedade, na cultura e na relação do homem com o trabalho e a natureza – e inspirado pela filosofia oriental do confucionismo, Thoreau abandona a cidade e retira-se para a floresta. Lá, às margens do lago Walden, constrói uma cabana e todos os móveis com as próprias mãos, passando a viver com o mínimo necessário para sua sobrevivência e em intenso contato com o meio natural. A obra de Thoreau – em especial, Walden ou a vida nos bosques e o ensaio "Sobre a desobediência civil", ambos presentes nesta edição – tem sido referência fundamental a diversos pensadores e movimentos dos séculos XIX, XX e XXI, como Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, o movimento artístico beat, a filosofia hippie das décadas de 1960-70 e as principais correntes de luta pela ecologia e pela preservação do meio ambiente das últimas décadas.

Walden or Life in the Woods ?By Henry David ThoreauWalden is a book by transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau. The text is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and-to some degree-a manual for self-reliance.First published in 1854, Walden details Thoreaus experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau used this time (July 4, 1845 - September 6, 1847) to write his first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. The experience later inspired Walden, in which Thoreau compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development.The book can be seen as performance art, a demonstration of how easy it can be to acquire the four necessities of life. Once acquired, he believed people should then focus their efforts on personal growth.By immersing himself in nature, Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. Simple living and self-sufficiency were Thoreaus other goals, and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy, a central theme of the American Romantic Period.Thoreau makes precise scientific observations of nature as well as metaphorical and poetic uses of natural phenomena.
