«Je vivais seul, dans les bois» is the excerpt from the essay «Walden» by Henry David Thoreau, published by Folio in paperback (119 pages, in French).
Thoreau recounts the two years and two months he lived alone in a cabin he built himself by Walden Pond, in Concord (Massachusetts). It is a poetic and ecological plea for a return to nature, simple living, self-sufficiency and contemplation in harmony with the environment.
It is the first chapter of «Walden; or, Life in the Woods» (1854), translated by Louis Fabulet; it belongs to the Folio 2€ collection.
For readers of philosophy and classics of American literature, as well as for a first brief approach to Thoreau's thought.
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.
