"For I believe that climate does thus react on man -- as there is something in the mountain air that feeds the spirit and inspires."
Henry David Thoreau's Walking began as a lecture in 1851 and ultimately appeared in The Atlantic Monthly in 1862, shortly after the author's death. The impassioned essay, which praises the merits of time spent in nature, has become one of the most influential works of the modern environmentalist movement. Thoreau's view of walking in nature as a self-reflective activity invites readers to embark on their own ramble in order to gain a "wild and dusky" self-knowledge unattainable elsewhere.
Americans felt the pressures of a changing world even in the relatively slow-paced 1800s, and Thoreau proposed balancing social stress with unhurried wanderings in fields and woods. His writings, from Civil Disobedience to Walden, remain popular because of their enduring relevance, and Walking bears a special resonance for modern readers who may have become disconnected from the natural world.

Thoreau, Henry David
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) foi um poeta, naturalista, pesquisador, historiador, filósofo transcendentalista e ativista político norte-americano. Crítico da sociedade urbana e da Revolução Industrial, em 1845, aos 27 anos, foi viver sozinho na floresta em busca de liberdade e de um contato mais íntimo com a natureza. Construiu com as próprias mãos uma cabana às margens do lago Walden, além de móveis e utensílios. Dessa experiência nasceu seu livro mais célebre: Walden – ou a vida nos bosques, considerado um clássico da literatura estadunidense, referência para o pensamento ecológico e transcendentalista até hoje. Thoreau faleceu vítima de tuberculose, aos 44 anos. |
