Resumo(s)
Henry David Thoreau and his masterpiece, Walden, are both deeply embedded in our lives. It’s almost impossible today to perform a candid walk through the pages of the book that brings in its title the name of the beautiful lake, near Concord, without carrying to our contemporary reading the constellation of fears that haunt us. We are the fragile inhabitants of the grim and probably desperate, “Anthropocene era”2. How can we follow the thoughts and steps from the solitary friend and disciple of Emerson, without seeing him as a forefather of our anguish before the future, seemingly captured by the shadows of economic doom and environmental collapse?
