Description

Henry David Thoreau's Wild Apples is a thought-provoking reflection on the effect of modern society on nature. Through his personal experiences, he highlights the tension between man and nature, emphasizing the need for balance between the two. Thoreau's vivid descriptions of wild apples offer a stark contrast to those created by human interference. Read in English, unabridged.

Author

Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862) wrote Walden and the essay on civil disobedience. A pond becomes a republic of attention: beans, ice, visitors, and the cost of a life measured in hours. Concord was the address; the argument was larger. Twelve titles here. He walked, measured, refused a tax, and made refusal sound like a method. The sentences still send people outdoors, and into argument. He is easier to quote than to follow.
