Naturen har en djup närvaro i Ingela Strandbergs poesi. Hon skildrar både den svenska landsbygdens traditioner och myter, och det högst samtida och vardagstriviala. Men framför allt utgör hennes diktspråk en förbindelse mellan två slags tystnader: den ensamma människans och naturens. I sin nya bok inleder hon ett samtal med en av naturens klassiska uttolkare, den amerikanske författaren Henry David Thoreau (1817-62), berömd för sin eremittillvaro vid Walden Pond. Det har resulterat i en självsvåldig och uppfinningsrik poesi, full av överraskande bilder och en lyrisk sensibilitet. Ingela Strandberg, f.1944 i halländska Grimeton, är verksam som poet och romanförfattare.

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY BENJAMIN MARKOVITS In 1845 Thoreau, a Harvard-educated 28-year-old, went to live by himself in the woods in Massachusetts. He stayed for over two years, living self-sufficiently in a small cabin built with his own hands. Walden is his personal account of the experience, in which he documents the beauty and fulfilment to be found in the wilderness, and his philosophical and political motivations for rejecting the materialism which continues to define our modern world.

EXKLUSIVA MEDLEMPRISER -"Om en man vandrar i skogarna halva dagarna för kärlek till dem och för att på lite avstånd betrakta sina medmänniskor med opartiskt öga, uppfattas han som en dagdrivare; men om han tillbringar hela dagen som spekulant och låter hugga ned skogarna, uppfattas han som flitig och företagsam." Mellan 1837 och 1861, året före sin död, skrev Henry David Thoreau dagbok. Det blev till slut sjutusen sidor text, Thoreaus kanske viktigaste men hittills minst kända verk. Här skrev han praktiskt taget dagligen om djur och växter som han studerat på sina promenader, om vad han läst, och utvecklade sin egen filosofi i en fri form mellan essä och aforismer. Dagböckerna blev den viktigaste källan till hans övriga verk. För den svenska publiken har Peter Handberg översatt och gjort ett urval av Thoreaus noteringar och reflktioner om människans plats i naturen och tillvaron, den första mer omfattande samlingen av Thoreaus dagboksanteckningar. Henry David Thoreau var amerikansk författare, filosof och mystiker. Han kallade sig själv "transcendentalist" i Ralph Waldo Emersons efterföljd, och propagerade i sina skrifter för hur människan kunde och borde leva i samklang med naturen och med Gud. Hans tankar om civil olydnad var viktiga inte minst för Gandhi, och han har också haft stor betydelse för senare tiders miljörörelser.

Can justice be forced on individuals and communities? The essays in this collection by Henry David Thoreau urge us to consider the difficult matter of how to counter the specific injustice manifested in the practice of buying and selling human beings and how to implement laws and practices that help establish justice. Of the many philosophical ideas Thoreau explores, the central concern is how to end slavery and provide justice for all. It is no surprise to find Thoreau defending the idea of civil disobedience, but his defense of John Brown, who used violence, including murder, commands our attention. The Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s in the U.S. was heavily influenced by the rhetoric, the actions, and the overall philosophy of Martin Luther King, Jr., who famously combined civil disobedience and nonviolent action under the strong influence of Mohandas K. Gandhi. Although Gandhi staunchly defends and promotes the use of nonviolence, he is quick to condemn inaction as an even greater evil than violence. If forced to choose between doing nothing and using violence, he would choose violence but his many writings and speeches are designed to show that we almost always have a nonviolent alternative to oppose injustice and foster justice.The lives of more than a billion residents of India have been profoundly shaped by the ideas Gandhi presents and defends in these selections from MY NONVIOLENCE. The liberation of India from British colonialism and the establishing of what Gandhi called home rule is powerful evidence of the role nonviolence can play in bringing about justice and eliminating injustice. Gandhi addresses not only matters of race and skin color but also the caste system and the social stratification that currently pervade the entire globe. These works by Thoreau and Gandhi consider the best way to promote justice and goodness not in utopia but in the actual world where we live. The primary goal of Agora Publications is not to answer such controversial questions by taking sides but to provide access to philosophical works that promote such dialogue.Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 - May 6, 1862) was an American philosopher who wrote about nature, social and political issues, and human existence in general. He worked closely with other transcendentalist thinkers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Margaret Fuller.

On the Duty of Civil Disobedience or Resistance to Civil Government (Civil Disobedience) is an essay by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau that was first published in 1849. In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican–American War (1846-1848). That government is best which governs least is the famous opening line of this essay. The slavery crisis inflamed New England in the 1840s and 1850s. The environment became especially tense after the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. A lifelong abolitionist, Thoreau delivered an impassioned speech which would later become Civil Disobedience in 1848, just months after leaving Walden Pond. The speech dealt with slavery, but at the same time excoriated American imperialism, particularly the Mexican–American War. Thoreau asserts that because governments are typically more harmful than helpful, they therefore cannot be justified. Democracy is no cure for this, as majorities simply by virtue of being majorities do not also gain the virtues of wisdom and justice. The judgment of an individual s conscience is not necessarily inferior to the decisions of a political body or majority, and so [i]t is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right.... Law never made men a whit more just and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice. He adds, I cannot for an instant recognize as my government [that] which is the slave s government also. Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was an American author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, and leading transcendentalist. He is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay Civil Disobedience, an argument for individual resistance to civil government in moral opposition to an unjust state.

Walden by Henry David Thoreau is one of the best-known non-fiction books written by an American. Published in 1854, it details Thoreau’s life for two years, two months, and two days around the shores of Walden Pond, amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. The book compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development. Walden is neither a novel nor a true autobiography, but a social critique of the Western World, with each chapter heralding some aspect of humanity that needed to be either renounced or praised. Along with his critique of the civilized world, Thoreau examines other issues afflicting man in society, ranging from economy and reading to solitude and higher laws. He also takes time to talk about the experience at Walden Pond itself, commenting on the animals and the way people treated him for living there, using those experiences to bring out his philosophical positions. This extended commentary on nature has often been interpreted as a strong statement to the natural religion that transcendentalists like Thoreau and Emerson were preaching.

Vi är många som delar drömmen om ett liv på landet. Anders Möller tog steget från storstaden när han hittade den lilla gården Larslund i slutet av en sörmländsk grusväg. Ambitionerna var stora. Som en modern Thoreau skulle han leva av det jorden på de egna ägorna gav. Han läste på och gjorde beräkningar, planterade en stor äppelodling, fyllde det gamla hönshuset med nya befjädrade hyresgäster, satte plogen i marken och anlade till och med sin egen Walden-pond med kräftor. Allt under bästa vännen och tiken Pumahs emellanåt misstänksamma överseende. Men ganska omgående började motgångarna och missödena att hopa sig. På gården tycktes snart att-göra-listan med självpåtagna måsten växa mer okontrollerat än ogräset ute i odlingarna. De ljuva kvällarna på verandan blev sömnlösa nätter med tankar som bara snurrade. Var det verkligen detta liv han hade tänkt sig när han lämnade stressen i stan? Var vår samtids många drömbilder av livet på landet bara fantasier, eller kunde han finna ett realistiskt sätt att bli lantbo? Konsten att flytta till landet är en personligt berättad guide för landetdrömmare. Lika delar essä och Pettsonbok för vuxna som en användbar handbok för alla semestertorpare och hågade långpendlare – och för dem som leker med tanken på att bli helt självförsörjande. Genom sina filosofiska funderingar och praktiska tips vill Anders Möller inspirera andra som är på väg att ta det steg han själv tog. Men han passar också på att punktera en och annan orealistisk och tv-programsglimrande drömbubbla kring det ljuvliga men ofta slitiga och skitiga projekt det är att lämna storstaden för landet. Genom att generöst dela med sig av sina egna överentusiastiska nybörjarmisstag ger han alla läsare ett lustfyllt försprång när de är redo att ta sitt eget första steg. Följ med till Larslund och ett lantligt äventyr bland dammkräftor och guldfiskar, luriga hjortar och likaledes lömsk kirskål, potatisproblem och hungriga 10-wattshönor som spräcker alla kalkyler för en hållbar hushållsekonomi. Men också en lite lugnare värld alldeles runt hörnet med lagom nära grannar man inte bara hälsar på utan också delar en genuin känsla av sammanhang med, en plats med krispigt daggfriska morgnar precis utanför sovrumsfönstret, en tystnad som är ren balsam för själen och stjärnklara nätter som du aldrig får uppleva i ljusföroreningarnas storstäder. Kort sagt livet på landet när drömmen – på gott och ont – blir verklighet. Röster om Konsten att flytta till landet: Det är en bok jag tycker mycket om, med sin blandning av filosofiskt funderande och en ärlig beskrivning av vardagen på gården. Mycket fint berättad. Qia Rindevall, Journalisten Språket är levande och träffande, det märks att Anders Möller är en van skribent som vet hur man skapar en bra berättelse. Det händer mycket hela tiden och perspektiven växlas, läsaren rycks snabbt med i historien och vill veta vad som hände sedan. BTJ
