Tagebuch III

Die Phänomene der verschiedenen Jahreszeiten und die Schilderungen unterschiedlichster Sonnenuntergänge und Mondwanderungen bezeugen den Lauf des in diesem Band der Tagebuchaufzeichnungen dokumentierten Jahres 1851 vom 1. Januar bis zum 31. Dezember. Thoreaus Sicht auf die von ihm durchwanderte Landschaft veränderte sich durch seine Tätigkeit als Landvermesser. Und so weckt das Surren in den Stromkabeln, die Klänge seiner "Telegrafenharfe", antike und romantische Assoziationen, die Thoreau leichthin mit der von ihm begrüßten technischen Moderne verbindet. Konkrete politische Überzeugungen in Fragen der Sklaverei und wütende Schmähreden gegen prosüdstaatliche Bostoner Zeitungen zeigen Thoreau als überzeugten Fluchthelfer entflohener Sklaven, während er zugleich Freiheitsgesänge entfaltet, die in ihrer Poesie an Walt Whitman erinnern.

Henry David Thoreau
American essayist, poet, and practical philosopher, best-known for his autobiographical story of life in the woods, WALDEN (1854). Thoreau became one of the leading personalities in New England Transcendentalism. He wrote tirelessly but earned from his books and journalism little. Thoreau's CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE (1849) influenced Gandhi in his passive resistance campaigns, Martin Luther King, Jr., and at one time the politics of the British Labour Party. Henry David Thoreau was born in Concord, Massachusetts, which was center of his life, although he spent several years in his childhood in the neighboring towns and later elsewhere. He died of tuberculosis, and he is buried in his family's plot near the graves of his friends Hawthorne, Alcott, Emerson, and Channing on Author's Ridge in Concord's Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
