Narration To Books Wild Apples

Henry David Thoreau was an American author, poet, naturalist, tax resister, surveyor, historian, philosopher, and leading transcendentalist. He is best known for his book Walden. He was deeply interested in the idea of survival in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay. He was a strong abolitionist and his belief in a philosophy of civil disobedience influenced the political thoughts and actions of such later figures as Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. First published in "The Atlantic Monthly" in 1862, Thoreau's essay begins with a history of the apple tree, and ends with a meditation on parallels between the wild apple and humanity.

A love letter to wild apples. Fabulous.

this book did not of course take me a month to read, it took an hour. I had just forgotten it. interesting histories - my favorite was his ending paragraph stating that in a hundred years new englanders would not find wild apples in the woods, which sadly he is right about

This very short work by Thoreau is sheer poetry to read. He explores the role of wild apples within history and culture, often citing the classics. It's highly readable--more so than many 19th century works--and a pure sensory delight. Honestly, it made me hungry for apples."The out-door air and exercise which the walker gets give a different tone to his palate, and he craves a fruit which the sedentary would call harsh and crabbed. They must be eaten in the fields, when your system is all aglow

Henry David Thoreau es, junto a Ralph Waldo Emerson, una de las figuras centrales de la literatura norteamericana de la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Aunque su obra más conocida, La desobediencia civil, es un importantísimo ensayo sobre las libertades de la sociedad donde deja en claro su acendrado individualismo militante, también es calificado como un precursor del pensamiento ecologista, pues siempre manifestó su amor por la naturaleza: la empatía que sentía por la flora y la fauna, su defensa
