WALDEN<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u2014 Henry David Thoreau
\n<\/span>\u2014 Carlos Jim\u00e9nez Arribas (Traductor)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u00abCuando escrib\u00ed las p\u00e1ginas que siguen, al menos, su mayor parte, viv\u00eda solo en el bosque, a m\u00e1s de un kil\u00f3metro de distancia del vecino m\u00e1s pr\u00f3ximo, en una casa que hab\u00eda construido yo mismo, a orillas de la laguna Walden, en Concord, Massachusetts, y me ganaba la vida con la sola labor de mis manos. Viv\u00ed all\u00ed dos a\u00f1os y dos meses. Ahora participo de nuevo de la vida civilizada por un tiempo\u00bb.<\/em><\/p>\n

As\u00ed comenzaban las p\u00e1ginas de Walden<\/em>, el libro autobiogr\u00e1fico -uno de los m\u00e1s famosos de la narrativa norteamericana- que sali\u00f3 del l\u00e1piz de Henry David Thoreau<\/strong>, de quien hace unos d\u00edas se cumpl\u00eda el aniversario de su muerte.<\/p>\n

El manuscrito, sin embargo, tuvo ocho versiones diferentes y a Thoreau le llev\u00f3 casi siete a\u00f1os de escritura y correcciones. Las experiencias a las que se refiere el texto, su vida solitaria en los bosques, tuvieron lugar cuando Thoreau contaba con 28 a\u00f1os, y era un joven desencantado, que andaba perdido, en busca de su propio rumbo. Es por ello que, tras probar suerte con la ense\u00f1anza y la escritura en la ciudad de Nueva York, y despu\u00e9s de haber estudiado en Harvard, decidi\u00f3 instalarse en una caba\u00f1a que \u00e9l mismo hab\u00eda construido con sus manos.<\/p>\n

Thoreau era un joven demasiado apegado a la naturaleza como para triunfar en el mundo intelectual, y demasiado m\u00edstico para hacer fortuna en los negocios.<\/p>\n

As\u00ed, su gesto simb\u00f3lico de dar la espada a la sociedad de su \u00e9poca se ha de entender como una apuesta por s\u00ed mismo, por un individualismo radical, por su forma de entender la vida y la naturaleza, dejando de lado la opini\u00f3n p\u00fablica, el gobierno, la religi\u00f3n, la sociedad y la educaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Una actitud que nos trae un mensaje, que todav\u00eda resuena hoy: vivid y simplificaos.<\/p>\n

Esp\u00edritu original e inquieto, amante de la naturaleza, firme defensor de la libertad del individuo, Henry D. Thoreau (1817-1862) es una figura clave dentro de la tradici\u00f3n cultural e intelectual estadounidense cuya personalidad e ideas no s\u00f3lo no han perdido vigencia, sino que encuentran un nuevo terreno abonado en nuestros d\u00edas. Resultado de su traslado voluntario durante dos a\u00f1os a una caba\u00f1a aislada construida por \u00e9l mismo a orillas de la laguna de este nombre cercana a su pueblo, Concord, \u00abWalden\u00bb, obra hoy cl\u00e1sica y de referencia, naci\u00f3 de la voluntad de Thoreau de experimentar la vida autosuficiente integrada en el medio natural y lejos de las trampas de la sociedad y de la econom\u00eda. Las anotaciones registradas en su diario a lo largo de este tiempo, posteriormente complementadas, dieron lugar a esta obra extraordinaria. Traducci\u00f3n e introducci\u00f3n de Carlos Jim\u00e9nez Arribas<\/p>\n
