Walking
A great classic by Henry David Thoreau with a new preface and new translation.
Right in the first paragraph of Walking, Henry David Thoreau argues his thesis: we should "consider man as an inhabitant or an integral part of Nature, and not as a member of society". The essay was published in 1862, shortly after the author's death. But it had ancient roots, reflections that had accompanied him since his twenties, when (even then), in his diary entries, he questioned the way of life of his contemporaries. The new man who was then multiplying in the suffocating cities was moving away from his humanity; because introspection and self-knowledge did not reside in the corset of the city, they could only be sought among the trees, the rivers, the fields. Walking is much more than a seminal text for ecological movements. It is above all a philosophical digression by the author on the themes dearest to him, here synthesized in a bucolic setting, at the pace of a walker searching for himself.
