   Extractions: I de fleste lands litteratur hender det at glemte skribenter rykkes ut av glemselen og blir aktuelle igjen. Miskjente diktere fra fortiden kan med ett slag begynne å lokke til seg nye skarer av lesere fordi verden er blitt annerledes. Dette har skjedd med den amerikanske forfatteren Henry David Thoreau (1817- 62). I samtidens øyne var han en slags skrulling som skrev rare bøker som ingen leste, og som streifet rundt i skog og mark uten å foreta seg noe nyttig. Han levde et stille liv, opptatt av naturstudier og litterære sysler. Men i våre dager er disse bøkene blitt aktuelle igjen og leses som aldri før, både i Amerika og Europa. Hans hovedverk Walden lest og elsket som bare få andre bøker fra klassisk amerikansk litteratur. Henry David Thoreau ble født i den lille byen Concorde i Massachusetts, og tilbrakte hele livet her. Han kom fra et velstående hjem og hadde fått tidens høyeste universitetsutdannelse, men det interesserte ham lite å slå seg til ro i en fast og trygg stilling. Det han ville var å leve fritt og ubundet og ha tid til å dyrke sine interesser: friluftsliv, filosofi og klassisk litteratur. Spørsmålet om hvordan han skulle skaffe seg et ærlig levebrød samtidig med at han fikk beholde en del av den dyrebare friheten, skulle komme til å plage ham bestandig.

   Chapter 4 Early Nineteenth Century Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)  
   http://www.csustan.edu/english/reuben/pal/chap4/thoreau.html
   
   Extractions: Source: Shaping of the Modern World - HDT Top Primary Works A Week on the Concord And Merrimac Rivers This is a beautiful account of Thoreau's boat trip with his brother, John, from August 31 to September 13, 1839. The book is carefully organized with one chapter given to each day of a week - experiences of two weeks condensed in one. It is an excellent celebration of nature. "Resistance to Civil Government" also known as "Civil Disobedience" (1849) For failing to pay poll tax, Thoreau was sent to jail. The famous and influential essay is the result of that gesture. Its message is simple and daring - he advocates "actions through principles." If the demands of a government or a society are contrary to an individual's conscience, it is his/her duty to reject them. Upholding moral law as opposed to social law "divides the individual, separating the diabolical in him from the divine." Inspired by Thoreau's message, Mahatma Gandhi organized a massive resistance of Indians against the British occupation of India. Thoreau's words have also inspired the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., the peace marchers and the numerous conscientious-objectors to the Vietnam war. Walden Considered one of the all-time great books

   Extractions: Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) Contributing Editor: Wendell P. Glick In my experience, an understanding of Thoreau rarely follows the initial exposure to his writings. The appreciation of the profundity and subtlety of his thought comes only after serious study, and only a few of the most committed students are willing to expend the necessary effort. Many, upon first reading him, will conclude: that he was a churlish, negative, antisocial malcontent; or that he advocated that all of us should reject society and go live in the woods; or that each person has complete license to do as he/she pleases, without consideration for the rights of others; or that he is unconscionably doctrinaire. His difficult, allusive prose, moreover, requires too much effort. All such judgments are at best simplistic and at worst, wrong. If an instructor is to succeed with Thoreau, strategies to meet these responses will need to be devised. The best, in my opinion, is to spend the time explicating to students key sentences and paragraphs in class and responding to questions. Above all, students must be given a knowledge of the premises of Romanticism that constitute Thoreau's world view. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues

    Extractions: Henry David Thoreau U.S.writer, note esp. for Walden, or Life in the Woods (1854), an account of his experiment in living in solitude. A powerful social critic, his essay Civil Disobedience (1849) influenced such dissenters as Gandhi. various extracts from 'Walden': It may be vain to ask why the imagination will not be reconciled to flesh and fat. I am satisfied that it is not. Is it not a reproach that man is a carnivorous animal? True, he can and does live, in a great measure, by preying on other animals; but this is a miserable way - as anyone who will go to snaring rabbits, or slaughtering lambs, may learn - and he will be regarded as a benefactor of his race who shall teach man to confine himself to a more innocent and wholesome diet. Whatever my own practice may be, I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilised. No humane being, past the thoughtless age of boyhood, will wantonly murder any creature which holds its life by the same tenure that he does.
