La presente edición es el primer recorrido completo por la dimensión espiritual del «filósofo salvaje» que rechazó el saber museístico y la mera acumulación de conocimientos que no pasan por una conciencia de la incertidumbre y por la implicación práctica y emocional del yo en el mundo. A través de textos tomados de sus obras, de sus diarios y de su correspondencia, este libro ofrece una visión panorámica que introduce al lector en los temas fundamentales del pensamiento de Thoreau: la Naturaleza, Dios, el autoconocimiento, la pobreza y la sencillez, la soledad y la amistad, la ciencia y la fe, la muerte. Un pensamiento que no ha perdido vigencia.

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.
