Sinopse
Características

This first collection of Emersons essays has influenced a host of thinkers and intellectuals since its first appearance in 1841. Self-Reliance is undoubtedly the collections most famous essay, a piece in which Emerson argues that one must put a wholehearted trust in the power of ones own intuition, and not hold to orthodox opinions merely because the mass of people believe them to be true. But the prestige surrounding this work has tended to obscure the breadth of Emersons vision: in the twelve essays in Series One he invites us to consider a wide range of topics, from the true nature of Friendship, Heroism and Love, to the high-flown philosophy of Spiritual Laws and The Over-Soul.
