In one of the world's most famous and influential books, Meditations, Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius (A.D. 121-180) describes the stoic precepts he used to cope with his life as a warrior and ruler of an empire. Aurelius offers his reflections on the search for inner peace and ethical certainty in a chaotic world, and gives modern readers a practical and inspirational guide to the challenges of everyday life.

The great poet Antonio Machado was initially inspired by modernism, matured as a poet in symbolism and embraced an almost ascetic thought in his aphorisms. His life journey ran from childhood in a courtyard in Seville to maturity as a teacher in the fields of Castile and, finally, Colliure's death in French exile. This selection of poems offers a perfect sample of his work and of his free and unbearable character.

En 1845, Thoreau construyó una pequeña cabaña junto al lago Walden. Su idea era procurarse sus propios recursos y vivir de la manera más simple y pura posible, como un asceta, dedicándose a escribir para ser un poeta de la naturaleza. En su cabaña tenía tres sillas: "una para la soledad, otra para la amistad, y una tercera para la sociedad". Permaneció ahí durante dos años, que sirvieron de inspiración para su obra maestra, Walden, un canto a la libertad del hombre y la vida en los bosques. > In 1845, Thoreau built a small cabin by Lake Walden.

He stayed there for two years, which served as the inspiration for his masterpiece, Walden, a hymn to the freedom of man and life in the woods.
