Summary:
First published in 1854, Henry David Thoreau’s Walden has influenced generations of readers and continues to inspire and inform anyone with an open mind, a love of nature, and a longing for simplicity and contemplation. Recounting the author’s reflections on simple living after a period he spent in a small cabin he built near Walden Pond, the book places Thoreau firmly in his role as cultural and spiritual seer. Bill McKibben offers both an intelligent and captivating introduction and a body of insightful annotations to Thoreau’s original edition. He addresses two philosophical questions posed by Thoreau: "How much is enough?" and, "How do I know what I want?", to draw meaningful connections between Thoreau’s writing and our lived experience in the 21st century.

Elle s'insérait dans son idéal de culture de soi. "Marcher" s'ouvre sur le ton du plaidoyer et présente une(...)

Elle s'insérait dans son idéal de culture de soi. "Marcher" s'ouvre sur le ton du plaidoyer et présente une lutte: marcher pour affirmer sa liberté d'homme, pour s'ancrer dans l'espace, fuir les villes et les clôtures et mieux penser le monde.

Summary:
Michel Granger a fait le choix de ne pas s’intéresser aux aphorismes pris hors contexte, aux formules brillantes que l’on répète à l’envi pour illustrer les calendriers de Nouvelle-Angleterre, mais aux remarques plus développées dont seule l’ampleur permet d’exprimer la complexité d’un esprit innovant. Le parti pris de cette sélection établie par Michel Granger a été de privilégier l’originalité et la radicalité du philosophe transcendantaliste : une critique impitoyable de la société américaine du milieu du XIXe siècle, alliée à des propositions pour un mode de vie plus respectueux de la nature et de la vie de l’esprit. Henry D. Thoreau n’est pas un penseur tiède, il s’efforce de provoquer la réflexion et d’ébranler les certitudes. Des pages choisies pour comprendre la pensée forte de Thoreau.
