«Je suis simplement ce que je suis» is the correspondence of Henry David Thoreau published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (216 pages, in French).
It brings together the letters Thoreau addressed to his friend Harrison Blake between 1848 and 1861. In them he defends a life in harmony with nature and apart from society, and unfolds his ideas on individual freedom, nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience, in a text that works as a manifesto of his thought.
The French edition belongs to the La Lettre et la Plume collection, with a translation by Thierry Gillyboeuf and the complete text.
Recommended for readers of essays and correspondence who want to delve into Thoreau's philosophy on nature and individual freedom.
Henry David Thoreau was an American naturalist, essayist, poet, and philosopher. A leading transcendentalist, he is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay "Civil Disobedience", an argument in favor of citizen disobedience against an unjust state.
