Here's a literary biography of #Thoreau written in French originally. This book is for you if you like heightened writing that flows from occasional use of present tense "you"...

In reading "Walden," I can't quite get my mind around his view on charity. The best I can surmise is that he urges readers to help others at times without thinking about those actions as benefiting the recipients.
I'm too far separated by time and language to fully grasp his point. #Thoreau
