Nature

I really enjoyed the book, it brought nature more to my attention in a sense in it's spiritual awareness. We are as one with nature as we are with each other. There are some stunning lines in this book that help you remember there is beauty in the natural world around on any scale

So poetic, a must for all lovers of prose and nature

Amazing book. Definitely worth a read

I am biased because I love the Author, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and all his works. It has thought me great deal in my present life. I recommend it to anyone. Moreoever, it's free.

Inspiring throughout.A must for those who love our environment.

Over a hundred years old but still current. Thought provoking even now!

This free edition is a great help but does not include notes or critical introduction. It is nicely formatted but, for some reason, to find the contents page you need to go to the beginning and turn the pages - it doesn't come up on the Kindle menu.From the point of view of a modern reader, I find the text itself effusive, very wordy and only occasionally interesting. Emerson's basic enthusiasm for life, the universe and everything gives it a certain energy but, for me, this is negated by the obsessive rapturousness of his style. I think this quote conveys the overall tone:Standing on the bare ground, - my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, - all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God.

This is atrocious! I read a single page of it (having made the mistake of buying it on spec) and have immediately had to go back to the kindle store and buy a "proper" version, with a different cover. I'll give one example: on the very first paragraph of the text , after the introduction, Emerson refers to "stars". In the version I bought this word appears as "celebs". I am not joking. It's as if the text was written by an AI from a foreign language translation and drawing its vocabulary from the text messages of a drunken twelve year old. Lesson learned.

Best book to describe the connection of human spirit with nature and the spirit of universe! No narration can exemplify its stature. A must have in your library!Note: Better to read outside in the presence of nature.

I love nature, I enjoy the perspectives and writing of the past, which is far different than modern writing, so this book is a winner for me, right up my alley. If you like early American writing, mid 1800s, the way they phrased things and wrote, and if you love an introspective exploration of the philosophy of life and living from a natural perspective, this work is for you.This is a thinkers book. If you want to dive into the depths of the eclectic philosophies, thoughts, ideas and concepts of an early American thinker, you will enjoy this book. If you think evaluation, analysis and long explanations of multiple aspects of life and society are dry and tiring, then this book is not for you.

A lire plusieurs fois pour bien comprendre, mais un must pour les anglicistes!! Réflexion enrichissante pour faire des comparaisons avec d'autres oeuvres.

Emerson writes in clearly, cristaline way. He advert us to the meaning of the Nature and the men. Each sentence it's rich in meaning and significance, and its been a nice way for me to learn English from the masters of this beautiful language. The markers of the others have been helpful, too, so I can take a more attentive look at that sentence.I already was planning to read Thoreau, because of my graduation in Geography, and reading Emerson really enriches the experience as a whole.
