Walden Pond. Walden, the classic account of his stay there, conveys at once a naturalist's wonder at the commonplace and a Transcendentalist's yearning for spiritual truth and self-reliance. But even as Thoreau disentangled himself from worldly matters, his solitary musings were often disturbed by his social conscience. Civil Disobedience, expressing his antislavery and antiwar sentiments, and his insistence on living a life of principle, has influenced nonviolent resistance movements worldwide.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Henry-David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau was born in Concord, Massachussets in 1817. Self-described as a mystic, a transcendentalist, and a natural philosopher to boot, Thoreau was known for his extreme individualism, his preference for simple, austere living, and his revolt against the demands of society and government. The several years he spent in a homemade hut, writing and observing nature, resulted in Walden (1854). He was the author of A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849), Civil Disobedience (1849), Excursions (1863), and The Maine Woods (1864). Thoreau died in Concord in 1862. Michael Meyer teaches American literature at the University of Connecticut. He is the author of Several More Lives to Live, Thoreau's Political Reputation in America - awarded the Ralph Henry Gabriel Prize by the American Studies Association - and coauthor, with Walter Harding, of The New Thoreau Handbook. Mr. Meyer has published articles on Thoreau, in a variety of journals.
