The Portable Emerson - Ralph Waldo Emerson - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Portable Emerson - Ralph Waldo Emerson - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Philosopher John Dewey called Ralph Waldo Emerson "the one citizen of the New World fit to have his name uttered in the same breath with that of Plato."Through his writing and his own personal philosophy, Emerson unburdened his young country of Europe''s traditional sense of history and showed Americans how to be creators of their own contexts. With his central text, Nature , he singlehandedly engendered an entire spiritual and intellectual movement in Transcendentalism.Editor Jeffrey S. Cramer has chosen texts like Nature and The American Scholar , along with revelatory journal entries, letters and poetry revealing a stirringly human writer.

The Portable Thoreau - Henry Thoreau - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Portable Thoreau - Henry Thoreau - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Self-described as ''a mystic, a transcendentalist, and a natural philosopher to boot'', Henry David Thoreau dedicated his life to preserving his freedom as a man and as an artist. Nature was the fountainhead of his inspiration and his refuge from what he considered the follies of society. Heedless of his friends'' advice to live in a more orthodox manner, he determinedly pursued his own inner bent - that of a poet-philosopher - in prose and verse, in his masterpiece Walden , from which this work is taken. Edited by noted Thoreau scholar Jeffrey S. Cramer, this edition is the new standard for those interested in discovering the great thinker''s influential ideas about everything from environmentalism to limited government.

The Adventures of Simplicius Simplicissimus - Hans Jakob Christoffel Von Grimmelshausen - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Gaudy, wild, raw, amusing, rollicking and ragged, boiling with life, on intimate terms with death and evil - but in the end, contrite and fully tired of a world wasting itself in blood, pillage and lust'' Thomas MannA story of war in all its absurdity and horror, this incomparable novel describes the fortunes of a young boy travelling through a world ravaged by conflict, and the terrible things he witnesses. Written by someone who fought in the Thirty Years War which decimated Europe in the seventeenth century, it combines brutal, documentary realism with fantastical, knockabout humour to depict a universe turned upside down. This pioneering work of fiction is considered to be the first great German novel.Translated by J. A. Underwood with an Introduction by Kevin Cramer
