    Om at vandre udkom posthumt i 1862 og betragtes af mange som den amerikanske forfatter Henry David Thoreaus åndelige testamente. Her sammenfatter han sin livsfilosofi og kærlighed til naturen. Teksten er komponeret som et manifest for det frie liv i naturen og en hyldest til vandringen. Essayet fik en skelsættende betydning for den moderne miljøbevægelse og forekommer i dag mere relevant end nogensinde. Thoreau skriver, at vi frem for alt ”ikke har råd til ikke at leve i nutiden”. Han lovpriste vandringen som en livgivende og nødvendig form for lediggang, en modgift til civilisationens dårligdomme, og vejen til et nyt fællesskab med naturen omkring os. Om at vandre er bredt anerkendt som Thoreaus andet mesterværk – eller rettere Livet i skovene (Walden) i koncentreret form. Denne samling indeholder også essayene En vintervandring og Livet uden principper samt uddrag fra Thoreaus dagbøger om natur.

    Even a cursory reading of Henry David Thoreau?s immortal essay about civil disobedience reveals echoes in contemporary discussions of individual rights and the limits of government in a free society. Its themes resonate into the 21st century.

    Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.Thoreau's account of his solitary and self-sufficient home in the New England woods remains an inspiration to the environmental movement - a call to his fellow men to abandon their striving, materialistic existences of 'quiet desperation' for a simple life within their means, finding spiritual truth through awareness of the sheer beauty of their surroundings.
