  • "Interwoven with accounts of Thoreau's daily life (he did not live as a recluse but received visitors and almost daily walked into Concord) are meditations on human existence, society, government and other topics, expressed with clear-headed wisdom and remarkable beauty of style."
  • "1841 lernt er den Literaten Ralph Waldo Emerson kennen, der ein Freund und Förderer für ihn werden sollte. 1843 bis 1845 lebt Thoreau in der Blockhütte am Waldensee. 1849 erscheint der heute berühmte Essay "Über die Pflicht zum Ungehorsam gegen den Staat", 1854 erscheint "Walden". In den folgenden acht Jahren setzt sich Thoreau mit all seinen Möglichkeiten für die Beendigung der Sklaverei ein und unterstützt den Bürgerrechtler John Brown. Thoreau stirbt bereits am 6. Mai 1862, im Alter von nur 44 Jahren, an einem Lungenleiden. - Im gleichen Jahr wird die Sklaverei in der Hauptstadt Washington aufgehoben. Drei Jahre später, nach dem Ende des Bürgerkriegs, ist die Sklaverei in allen US-Bundesstaaten abgeschafft. eClassica - Die Buchreihe, die Klassiker neu belebt."

  • "Recent Thoreau scholarship has concentrated on Thoreau as prescient forest ecologist; McKibben - author of the End of Nature and one of our best-read social and environmental critics - places him firmly back in his role as cultural and spiritual seer. McKibben identifies two questions asked by Thoreau as central to a late-twentieth-century reading of Walden: "How much is enough?" and "How do I know what I want?" Questions, McKibben reminds us, that must come to dominate the end of the twentieth century if we are to live well into the twenty-first. McKibben's relevant and lively introduction and annotations to the 1854 edition make us see Walden as, among other things, a way to think about how we use our time, how we spend our money - how to live essential lives."@en

  • "One of the great books of American letters and a masterpiece of reflective philosophizing. Accounts of Thoreau's daily life on the shores of Walden Pond outside Concord, Massachusetts, are interwoven with musings on the virtues of self-reliance and individual freedom, on society, government, and other topics."@en
  • "Um die Frage "Wie soll und will ich leben?" zu beantworten, zieht sich Thoreau für zwei Jahre in eine selbstgebaute Blockhütte am Waldensee zurück. Erkenntnis seines Experimentes ist, dass der Weg zu sich selbst bei den einfachen Dingen und einer gelasseneren Gangart beginnt."
  • "Presents nineteenth-century American author Henry David Thoreau's reflections on living alone among nature for two years on Walden Pond in Massachusetts, and includes an introduction, explanatory notes, and an ecological appendix."
  • "A man retreats into the woods and discovers the joys of solitude and nature."@en
  • "Philosophy of life and observations of nature drawn from the author's solitary sojourn of two years in a cabin on Walden pond near Concord, Massachusetts."@en
  • "So lebt er als amerikanischer Buddha in seinem eingeschossigen Blockhaus von drei mal viereinhalb Meter Grundfläche und drei Metern Höhe. - Wie in einem naturwissenschaftlichen Experiment sortiert Thoreau alles Unwichtige aus seinem Leben aus, und es entstehen die Notizen zum Buch "Walden, oder Leben in den Wäldern", das sieben Jahre später erscheint, und in den darauffolgenden 150 Jahren zu einer grossen Inspiration für alle Kapitalismuskritiker, Freidenker und Naturschützer werden wird, von Karl Marx, über Mahatma Gandhi bis hin zur Ökologiebewegung. Über den Autor: Henry David Thoreau wurde am 12. Juli 1817 in Concord, Massachusetts, als Sohn eines Bleistiftfabrikanten geboren und studierte von 1833 bis 1837 an der Harvard University. Für kurze Zeit arbeitete er als Lehrer an der Public School in Concord, überwarf sich aber bald mit der Schulleitung - z.B. weil er die Prügelstrafe ablehnte.-"
  • "Henry David Thoreau: Walden, oder: Leben in den Wäldern - Mit voll verlinktem, detailliertem Inhaltsverzeichnis - Für die eBook-Ausgabe neu editiert - Mit einem aktuellen Vorwort des Herausgebers (April/2013) Ende März 1845, er ist jetzt 28 Jahre alt, leiht sich Henry David Thoreau eine Axt, begibt sich auf das zwei Meilen von seiner Heimatstadt Concord (Massachusetts) entfernte, am Waldensee gelegene Grundstück seines Förderers und Freundes Ralph Waldo Emerson und beginnt mit der Rodung eines kleinen Areals als Bauplatz für seine Hütte. Er steckt die Masse ab, gräbt einen Keller und errichtet im Mai die Balken zu einer Blockhütte. Am 4. Juli, dem amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitstag, zieht er ein. Es ist für ihn auch ein persönliches Symbol der Unabhängigkeit: Vom Kapital, vom Konsum, vom Staat, von Bürokraten und obrigkeitshörigen Steuereintreibern, die von den Bürgern Geld erpressen, um auf der anderen Seite die (immer noch) bestehende Sklaverei zu finanzieren.-"
  • "The author offers his observations and insights of living alone in a hut in the woods for a year and a half in the mid-1800's."
  • "Thoreau discusses his philosophy of life and observations of nature written while spending two years in a cabin on Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts."
  • "In 1845 Henry David Thoreau, disdainful of America's growing commercialism and industrialism, left his home town of Concord, Massachusetts to begin a new life alone, in a rough hut on the north-west shore of Walden Pond. Walden is Thoreau's classic autobiographical account of this experiment in solitary living. This new edition of Walden traces the sources of Thoreau's reading and thinking and considers the author in the context of his birthplace and his sense of its history - social, economic and natural. In addition, an ecological appendix provides modern identifications of the myriad plants."@en
  • "In July 1845, Henry David Thoreau built a small cottage in the woods near Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. During the two years and two months he spent there, he began to write Walden, a chronicle of his communion with nature that became one of the most influential and compelling books in American literature."
  • "The author discusses his observations of nature on Walden Pond in Massachusetts."
  • "A record of an experiment in simple living, bare of creature comforts, but rich in contemplation."
  • "Walden is Thoreau's classic autobiographical account of his experiment in solitary living, his refusal to play by the rules of hard work and the accumulation of wealth, and above all the freedom it gave him to adapt his living to the natural world around him. This new edition traces the sources of Thoreau's reading and thinking and considers the author in the context of his birthplace and sense of history--social, economic, and natural. An ecological appendix provides modern identifications of the myriad plants and animals to which he gave close attention as he became acclimated to his life in the woods by Walden Pond."
