Generations of readers have been inspired by Emerson's ideal of self-reliance, and his vision of nature as a manifestation of the divine spirit has profoundly influenced American naturalists and environmentalists from Thoreau's time to the present. These selections from the best-loved of Emerson's writings contain some of the most memorable and important expressions of American thought.

About the author

Ralph W. Emerson, geb. 1803 in Boston, war Philosoph und Dichter. 'Wer ein Mensch sein will, der muß Nonkonformist sein', so die Überzeugung, der er folgte. Er selbst nannte seine Gedanken 'Kinder des Waldes', seine an Montaigne geschulten Essays galten als die intellektuelle Unabhängigkeitserklärung Amerikas. Schon zu Lebzeiten wurde er als Prophet verehrt, sein Tod 1882 von ganz Amerika betrauert.
