Chintanika (चिंतनिका)*
हेन्री डेव्हिड थोरो या चिंतनशील प्रवृत्तीच्या, व्यासंगी लेखकाच्या व्यक्तिमत्त्वाच्या काही पैलूंचे दर्शन या पुस्तकातून घडते ते बहुरंगी आहे आणि तरीही ते व्यक्तित्व आपल्या मूळ प्रेरणांशी प्रामाणिक राहून आविष्कृत होते असे दिसते. त्याच्या विचारांचा वाचकांवर होणारा परिणाम, पडणारा प्रभाव दूरगामी आहे. त्याची कितीतरी विधाने आजही कालसुसंगत वाटतात कारण ती मानवी जीवनाच्या मूलाधाराशी व निसर्गाशी सुसंगत आहेत. जगभरच्या नेत्यांवर प्रभाव पाडणाऱ्या, 'सविनय कायदेभंग' या निबंधासह इतर निबंधांचा व काही पत्रांचा अनुवाद या पुस्तकातून वाचावयास मिळतो. मीना वैशंपायन

Walden
Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth. This beautiful jacketed hardback edition presents the incredible memoir of Henry David Thoreau - a man who left his home town to live a contemplative life in the tranquil wilderness of Walden Pond. During his two years there, he diligently chronicled his observations. Walden blends natural history with philosophy, taking an insightful look at human solitude and our affinity with the natural world. In its rejection of materialism and embracing of self-sufficiency, this book remains a highly regarded work of transcendentalism, environmentalism, and individual enlightenment. Despite being published over 150 years ago, Walden remains pertinent in the modern society. This collector's edition features a dust jacket and new cover design, refreshing this defining work of American liberalism. ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Silhouette Classics are high-quality hardback editions with contemporary cover-designs.
