Essential Thoreau (CD Audiobook)
Book (italiano):
<blockquote> <p> One Great Author. One Great CD. </p> <p> "'What are you doing now?' he asked. 'Do you keep a journal?' So I make my first entry today." </p> </blockquote> <p> With these words, in response to prodding from Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau embarked on a writing enterprise—his <i>Journal</i>—that occupied him continuously over the entire period of his literary career, from 1837 to 1862. In one sense Thoreau's <i>Journal</i> is his greatest achievement as a writer, the remarkable record of a remarkable man's view of the world. Ranging in topic from entries titled "Young Women at Parties" to "Sunlight after Storm", the <i>Journal</i> is neither diary nor autobiography in the usual meaning of these terms, because the daily chronicle and the narrative of outward events are minor aspects of this voluminous work. The <i>Journal</i> is clearly not the work of a diarist, but the notebook of a writer dedicated to the continuous practice of composition. </p>
