Acerca de esta escucha

 Henry David Thoreau, who may be termed the founder of the cult of the Simple Life, was born in Concord, Massachusetts, on the 12th of July, 1817. His forebears belonged to St. Helier, Jersey, and his grandfather settled in New England somewhere about 1773. He has been described as "scholar-gypsy, poet, naturalist, moralist . . . and above all, transcendentalist." An illuminating account of transcendentalism — which gives the clue to Thoreau's attitude towards life — is given by Will H. Dircks in his prefatory note to Thoreau's Week on the Concord and Merrimac; Rivers (Walter Scott, Camelot Edition), the diary of a voyage he took with his brother John in 1839. This book, and Walden, are the two works by which he is best known in this country. He has, however, many other volumes to his name, including Letters, Essays, and a monograph on Sir Walter Raleigh. Thoreau was a man of marked individuality. He was well educated, and graduated at Harvard in 1837. His occupations were various. For a short time he kept a school with his brother at Concord, where later he became a lecturer. He then took part for a time in his father's business of lead-pencil-making, to which he succeeded on his father's death. At another time we find him in the role of Land Surveyor. Bid his passionate love of Nature, and intense desire for solitude wherein "to front only the essential facts of life" tool him to the woods in 1845. In the spring of that year he built with his own hands a little house by Walden Pond (the story of which is detailed in Walden) ; and there for over two years he led the life of a recluse, with abundant leisure for the pursuit of literature and nature study, returning home to Concord in September, 1847. Emerson was among the friends of his early manhood, and he was an intimate of that brilliant intellectual circle which Emerson gathered around him, and which included Margaret Fuller and Nathaniel Hawthorne. The grave of Thoreau is closed to that of Hawthorne in the Sleepy Hollow of his beloved Concord. He never married, and he died of a bronchial affection on the 6th of May, 1862, at the comparatively early age of forty-five.
