"In the summer we lay up a stock of experiences for the winter, as the squirrel of nuts? something for conversation in winter evenings." -Henry David Thoreau, Summer (1884) Summer: From the Journal of Henry D. Thoreau (1884) is the compilation of Thoreau's wonderment of and enthusiasm for nature from 1841-1859. Rather than following a yearly chronological organization, the journal is organized by month to give the reader an in-depth and vivid depiction of the sights and sounds of summer in New England. Published posthumously, Thoreau's two-million-word journal, regarded by some critics as his best work, is a must-read for lovers of Walden (1854), philosophy, and nature.
Autorenporträt
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was an American naturalist, essayist, poet, and philosopher. He is best known for his book Walden and his essay "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" (originally published as "Resistance to Civil Government"). Thoreau was a lifelong abolitionist, delivering lectures that attacked the fugitive slave law while praising the writings of Wendell Phillips and defending the abolitionist John Brown. Thoreau's philosophy of civil disobedience later influenced the political thoughts and actions of such notable figures as Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr. His writings on natural history and philosophy anticipated modern-day environmentalism.
