内容概要

从1845年7月4日到1847年9月6日，梭罗独自生活在瓦尔登湖边，差不多正好两年零两个月。瓦尔登湖不仅为梭罗提供了一个栖身之所，也为他提供了一种独特的精神氛围。    1846年2月，梭罗按计划前去康科德城讲课。梭罗准备了一个“我自己的历史”（The History of Myself）的课题。没想到讲座受到观众的热烈欢迎。在这次讲座的启发下，梭罗将自己的讲课提纲加以整理，又经过了很长一段时间的写作，终于完成了Walden，or Life in Woods（《瓦尔登湖，又名林中生活散记》）这部传世的名著。《瓦尔登湖》出版于1854年，这是19世纪美国文学非小说著作中最受读者欢迎的书籍。目前，此书已出现了两百多个版本，并被译成许多种文字。

章节摘录

版权页：Not long since, a strolling Indian went to sell baskets at thehouse of a well-known lawyer in my neighborhood. "Do youwish to buy any baskets？" he asked. "No, we do not want any,"was the reply. "What！" exclaimed the Indian as he went out thegate, "do you mean to starve us？" Having seen his industriouswhite neighbors so well off  that the lawyer had only to weavearguments, and, by some magic, wealth and standing followed,he had said to himself: I will go into business; I will weavebaskets; it is a thing which I can do. Thinking that when hehad made the baskets he would have done his part, and then itwould be the white man's to buy them. He had not discoveredthat it was necessary for him to make it worth the other's whileto buy them, or at least make him think that it was so, or tomake something else which it would be worth his while to buy.I too had woven a kind of basket of a delicate texture, but I hadnot made it worth any one's while to buy them. Yet not theless, in my case, did I think it worth my while to weave them,and instead of studying how to make it worth men's while tobuy my baskets, I studied rather how to avoid the necessity ofselling them. The life which men praise and regard as successfulis but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at theexpense of the others？

Ido not to write an ode to dejection but to brag as lustily as chanticleer in the morning,standing on his roost,if only to wake my neighbors up .　　——H.D.Thoreau.

《瓦尔登湖(英文版)》：Walden or, Life in the Woods, published in i854, itdetails Thoreau's experiences over the course of twoyears in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, amidstwoodland owned by his friend and mentor RalphWaldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts.  Simple living and self-sufficiency were Thoreau'sother goals, and the whole project was inspired bytranscendentalist philosophy, a central theme of theAmerican Romantic Period. As Thoreau made clearin his book, his cabin was not in wilderness but at theedge of town, not far from his family home.

•   这本书装帧普通，丝毫也不华丽，但拿在手里感觉不错，纸张不滑，略显粗糙，颜色也暗，但印刷还好，但总体很轻便，如题，很朴素的一本书，不过倒是契合了梭罗自己的观点呢~这本书的内容自然不用说，很美丽……所以——喜欢（*@ο@*）～
