I want to listen to #Thoreau's #Walden. I've read it in the past and enjoyed it tremendously and now I would like to listen to it at bedtime. Any suggestions on a good narrator of Walden? #audiobook #nature

DIE KUNST ZU LEBEN MIT WENIGER: Das RADIKALE PROJEKT von Henry David Thoreau – Von Jenseits des Geistes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fPJzmAB2LE

In einer Welt, die uns ständig dazu drängt, mehr zu besitzen – mehr Geld, mehr Erfolg, mehr Aufmerksamkeit –, stellt dieses Video eine kraftvolle Gegenfrage: Was wäre, wenn wahre Freiheit entsteht, wenn wir lernen, weniger zu brauchen? Inspiriert vom Philosophen Henry David Thoreau, der 1845 in eine selbstgebaute Hütte am Walden-See zog, beleuchtet dieses Video die zeitlose Weisheit eines Lebens mit weniger Ballast. Thoreau lebte radikale Einfachheit, nicht aus Entbehrung, sondern aus innerer Klarheit.

2/ As I stand over the insect crawling amid the pine needles on the forest floor, and endeavoring to conceal itself from my sight, and ask myself why it will cherish those humble thoughts, and hide its head from me who might, perhaps, be its benefactor, and impart to its race some cheering information, I am reminded of the greater Benefactor and Intelligence that stands over me the human insect.”
