Walden
Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. <BR><BR>Henry Thoreau is considered, along with Edgar Allan Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman and Nathaniel Hawthorne, as one of the leading figures in early American literature, and Walden is without doubt his most influential book. It recounts the author's experiences living in a small house in the woods around Walden Pond near Concord in Massachusetts. Thoreau constructed the house himself, with the help of a few friends, and one of the reasons why he moved into it was in an attempt to see if he could live independently and away from society. The result is an intriguing work which blends natural history with philosophical insights and includes many illuminating quotations from other authors. Thoreau's wooden shack has won a place for itself in the collective American psyche, a remarkable achievement for a book with such modest and rustic beginnings.

Walden and Civil Disobedience
HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics."I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. "- Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Ascoltare gli alberi
«Una lontana betulla bianca, ritta su una collina contro il cielo bianco e brumoso, sembra, con i suoi ramoscelli sottili, così distinti e neri, un millepiedi che si arrampichi in paradiso.» Righe come queste, tratte dal suo "Diario", riassumono la visione filosofica e naturalistica di Henry Thoreau sul mondo vegetale. Precursore del pensiero ecologista, pone gli alberi al centro della propria vita intellettuale ed emotiva, instaurando con loro un profondo dialogo e tentando così di catturarne l'essenza. "Ascoltare gli alberi" propone una scelta di pagine suggestive dove gli alberi sono descritti come persone in carne e ossa, come amici fedeli che meritano il più grande rispetto, come compagni di vita che in ogni stagione offrono, per lo stupore di chi li contempli, l'immagine di una natura meravigliosa e in continuo mutamento.

Walden
Thoreau war gerade in seinen Zwanzigern, wo er erste verschiedene Erfahrungen und Konfrontationen mit dem Tod und dem Sterben erleben sollte. Nachdem auch noch sein Bruder John mit 27 Jahren stirbt, entscheidet sich der Harvard-Absolvent damals am 4. Juli 1845 für zwei Jahre, sich in den Wald in eine Hütte am Waldensee zurückzuziehen, um sich mit den grossen Grundfragen des Lebens mit sich selbst zu konfrontieren. Sein Rückzug in die Stille, die heilende Umgebung der Natur, die Tiere, Pflanzen, Blumen und Bäume sollten es sein, die ihm das gaben, wonach er offenbar suchte. Es sollte ein kompromissloser Lebensweg werden, eines einstigen damaligen Aussteigers, der nichts in seinem Leben bereuen wollte und sich keine Vorwürfe am Lebensende machen wollte, nicht genügend intensiv gelebt zu haben. Wenn man Thoreau liest, glaubt man den Wind in den Bäumen zu spüren und die Atmosphäre des Waldes zu fühlen. Bis heute ist Walden ein grossartiger Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur, dass kein schöneres und tieferes Buch vorzuweisen hat.
