About the book

Henry David Thoreau's "Walking" is a timeless exploration of nature, the environment, and the importance of walking as both a physical and philosophical act. This collection of essays delves into transcendentalist ideals, offering a compelling perspective on humanity's relationship with the natural world.

Thoreau champions the virtues of wilderness and encourages readers to seek spiritual and intellectual fulfillment through direct experience with nature. More than just a guide to rambling, "Walking" is a profound meditation on life, society, and our place within the larger ecosystem. This meticulously prepared print edition allows readers to engage directly with Thoreau's powerful prose and rediscover the enduring relevance of his environmental philosophy. Explore themes of conservation and the intrinsic value of the natural world through the insightful observations of one of America's most influential thinkers.

    „Mit einem Wort: Alles Gute ist wild und frei.“

    Kleines Essay für einen Nachmittag. Thoreau nimmt das Spazieren eher als Einstieg um ein Plädoyer auf alles Urspüngliche und Natürliche zu halten. Gespickt mit vielen Zitaten und Gedichten (die im englischen eindeutig schöner klingen), ist dieses Büchlein eine nette Lektüre mit vielen gut formulierten Gedanken. Ein paar Passagen sind recht patriotisch geraten und alles in allem ist der Veröffentlichungszeitpunkt (1862) unserer Realität doch um einiges ferner, als dass sich diese Ideen in die heutige Zeit eins zu eins übertragen lassen. Alltime-Quintessenz: Lebe im Hier und Jetzt, gehe achtsam durchs Leben, genieße die Natur ungestört mit allen Sinnen! „Was wir Wissen nennen, ist bloß oft positives Unwissen [..].“
