Verano
En verano reunimos, compilados por Peter Saint-André, fragmentos de distintas fuentes (principalmente de sus diarios), en los que Henry David Thoreau reflexiona, entre junio y septiembre, sobre los fenómenos de la naturaleza que observa en la estación más calurosa del año.
El anochecer es la parte más gloriosa del día, la más serena, cálida y brillante, y la más sugerente. Es más bello que la mañana. Es la tarde casta, porque ha tolerado las duras pruebas del día, pero para la mañana ese elogio no era aplicable. Es respiración de incienso. La mañana está llena de promesa y vigor. La noche es pensativa.

About the author
Henry David Thoreau
2,405 books6,724 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.

Thoreau es uno de mis señoros
Le encontré en una época en la que cualquier escrito qur buscara un sentido de la vida, amor a la naturaleza y sociego en la soledad, me abrazaban mucho.
Este libro es un compendio de sus diarios durante Verano.
A veces peca de demasiada autosuficiencia y de no entender otras realidades, pero ha sido un reencuentro bello.

Thoreau es una persona increíble y dotada de una sensibilidad muy particular. Esta manera de cruzar y leer sus textos y epístolas en clave de estación me parece fascinante. 1/4

Reflexiones del pasado, presente y futuro. Esperanzador, característico de lo humano. Desesperanzador, lo que se avecina.
