O ovoj e-knjizi
This book of twelve essays published in 1875 is a collection of lectures delivered throughout Emerson's career. Composed with his characteristic spark and wit, they are touching reflections on a life well spent. Each chapter begins with lines of verse followed by his narratives which share a common cheerful theme: the world is filled with goodness for those willing to receive it.
O autoru
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was a towering figure in 19th-century American literature and philosophy, renowned for his profound influence on the transcendentalist movement. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Emerson initially followed in his father's footsteps as a Unitarian minister but soon diverged, seeking a more personal and intuitive connection to the divine.Emerson's revolutionary ideas championed individualism, self-reliance, and the inherent goodness of nature, which resonated deeply in an era of rapid industrialization and social change. His lectures and essays, filled with aphoristic wisdom, challenged conventional religious and societal norms, advocating for a deeper, more personal spiritual experience.A central figure in the American Renaissance, Emerson's influence extended to contemporaries like Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and Margaret Fuller. His home in Concord, Massachusetts, became a hub for intellectuals and reformers, fostering discussions that shaped American thought.Not without controversy, Emerson's ideas often clashed with traditional religious views, leading to criticism from conservative quarters. Yet, his call for intellectual and spiritual independence inspired generations of writers and thinkers, cementing his legacy as a foundational figure in American literature and philosophy.Emerson's enduring relevance lies in his advocacy for the power of the individual spirit and his unwavering belief in the potential for human greatness, themes that continue to inspire and challenge modern readers.
