Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
In "Autobiographical Works," Henry David Thoreau intricately weaves together reflections that illuminate his contemplative engagement with nature, society, and self. The collection includes pivotal essays such as "Civil Disobedience" and segments from his landmark work, "Walden," showcasing Thoreau's mastery of lyrical prose, keen observation, and philosophical inquiry. The narrative style is rich with metaphor and vivid imagery, capturing the transcendental essence of his lived experiences while situating his thoughts within the larger literary context of 19th-century American transcendentalism, emphasizing individuality and a profound connection to the natural world. Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher whose life and works were deeply influenced by his environmental ethos and the social injustices of his time. His experiences living in solitude at Walden Pond served not only as the backdrop for his philosophical explorations but also as a practical experiment in simple living. Thoreau's commitment to civil liberties, personal ethics, and ecological awareness resonated throughout his works, reflecting both his ideals and the turbulent historical backdrop of antebellum America. "Autobiographical Works" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of human existence and the interrelationship between humanity and nature. Thoreau's insights challenge readers to reflect on their own lives and moral responsibilities while offering timeless wisdom that remains relevant in contemporary discourse. Engage with this compelling meditation on autonomy and consciousness, and allow yourself to be inspired by Thoreau's enduring legacy.
Giới thiệu tác giả
Henry David Thoreau, born on July 12, 1817, in Concord, Massachusetts, stands as a towering figure in American literature and philosophy. A graduate of Harvard University, Thoreau sought to live a life of simplicity and self-sufficiency which he famously chronicled in 'Walden; or, Life in the Woods', published in 1854. Thoreau's contributions to autobiographical literature, notably in works such as 'Walden', paint a reflective and critical vision of society and individual existence. His ruminative prose straddles the fine line between enviable isolation and social critique, offering a stirring contemplation on the human experience and our interface with the natural world. Thoreau's writing is characteristic of the Transcendentalist movement, which espoused a close relationship with nature and an emphasis on personal intuition over societal conformity. His advocacy for civil liberties and staunch opposition to slavery manifested in lesser-known essays such as 'Civil Disobedience' which influenced global leaders, from Gandhi to Martin Luther King Jr. Thoreau passed away on May 6, 1862, but his literary and philosophical legacy endures, encouraging readers to chart a course towards a deliberate life imbued with purpose and attunement to the natural environment.
