“Just previous to immersion they [the ducks] seemed to give each other a significant nod, and then, as if by common consent, ’twas heels up and head down in the shaking of a duck wing; and when they reappeared, it was amusing to observe with what a self satisfied, darn-it-how-he-nicks-’em air they paddled off to repeat the experiment.” – Journal, O…

I don’t think that my personal story is worth any interest, and the same goes for the way I discovered Thoreau, which I think was very ordinary; but beacause you ask I’ll try to answer, being as brief as possible. I read Walden for the first time when I was about 15, unaware of how that book would have accompanied me for the…[Read more]

I am thankful to Dr. Sacht for providing this opportunity for us. Thank you very much for your very kind words about me. Thoreau was a great inspiration in my life.

I have been studying and analyzing Walden for almost 15 years. I have many notes and comments I would love to share. I would also love to hear from other Thoreau translators across the globe.
