Poéticas del caminar
En Poéticas del caminar, Thoreau hace un canto al arte de pasear, una bitácora personal de la actividad que, como
ninguna otra, despierta los sentidos y “la absoluta libertad y estado salvaje” de la naturaleza. Concluye que las
caminatas son un elemento esencial para mantener una relación saludable con uno mismo y el entorno. El
caminar del que nos habla no es una simple forma de ejercicio, sino la aventura de cada día. Los cambios
estacionales, la descripción de especies, y las relaciones entre la naturaleza y los estados de ánimo. Su relato es un
manifiesto geopoético, que ha ejercido una profunda influencia en el arte y la cultura de nuestro tiempo.

About the author
Henry David Thoreau
2,390 books6,721 followersHenry David Thoreau (born David Henry Thoreau) was an American author, naturalist, transcendentalist, tax resister, development critic, philosopher, and abolitionist who is best known for Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay, Civil Disobedience, an argument for individual resistance to civil government in moral opposition to an unjust state.
Thoreau's books, articles, essays, journals, and poetry total over 20 volumes. Among his lasting contributions were his writings on natural history and philosophy, where he anticipated the methods and findings of ecology and environmental history, two sources of modern day environmentalism.
In 1817, Henry David Thoreau was born in Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard University in 1837, taught briefly, then turned to writing and lecturing. Becoming a Transcendentalist and good friend of Emerson, Thoreau lived the life of simplicity he advocated in his writings. His two-year experience in a hut in Walden, on land owned by Emerson, resulted in the classic, Walden: Life in the Woods (1854). During his sojourn there, Thoreau refused to pay a poll tax in protest of slavery and the Mexican war, for which he was jailed overnight. His activist convictions were expressed in the groundbreaking On the Duty of Civil Disobedience (1849). In a diary he noted his disapproval of attempts to convert the Algonquins "from their own superstitions to new ones." In a journal he noted dryly that it is appropriate for a church to be the ugliest building in a village, "because it is the one in which human nature stoops to the lowest and is the most disgraced." (Cited by James A. Haught in 2000 Years of Disbelief.) When Parker Pillsbury sought to talk about religion with Thoreau as he was dying from tuberculosis, Thoreau replied: "One world at a time."
Thoreau's philosophy of nonviolent resistance influenced the political thoughts and actions of such later figures as Leo Tolstoy, Mohandas K. Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. D. 1862.

la forma en la que thoreau escribe y expresa lo que todes les amantes del bosque, de la naturaleza, de la. libertad, de la poesia, de la muerte y de la vida pensamos alguna vez.
Su forma de redactar y embellecer aun mas cosas tan simples como la nieve, el piso, los frutos, el bosque, el caminar es simplemente maravillosa.
Entre a este libro pensando que era un poemarío y no fue lo que me esperaba. es un poemario pero en vez de contener muchas poesias de una o dos paginas cada una, contiene tres poemas xxl que te transmiten exactamente lo que el autor quiere que sientas.
Es increíble como Thoreau hablaba, en 1800's, de problemáticas que hoy en día se siguen discutiendo y son luchas que aun siguen en pie y que tenemos que dar. Su análisis a la sociedad es simplemente excelente y realmente me parece que es sublime la forma en la que no evolucionamos casi nada en 167 años, de hecho, casi que retrocedimos. Realmente todes deberiamos leer textos como estos y replantearnos nuestros habitos del día a día.
Por otro lado, este libro es claramente un must read para les fans de dead poets society, Im just saying.

Caminar y Noche, luz de luna son muy buenos escritos. Me genera mucha envidia la gente que tiene la visión científica y la parte artística tan desarrollada 😅. La sensibilidad de Thoreau se aprecia mucho, sobre todo en el último escrito.
Con Una caminata invernal no logré enganchar.
