Это первый сборник эссе знаменитого Эмерсона.
Подробнее об Эмерсоне, его эссе и трансцендентализме вот здесь.
А в этом сборнике, кроме всего прочего, замечательное эссе о поэзии и литературе.
Недаром Эмерсона называли поэтом-пророком.
Очень красиво и вдохновенно о поэтах и писателях.

Therefore we value the poet. All the argument and all the wisdom is not in the encyclopaedia, or the treatise on metaphysics, or the Body of Divinity, but in the sonnet or the play. In my daily work I incline to repeat my old steps, and do not believe in remedial force, in the power of change and reform. But some Petrarch or Ariosto, filled with the new wine of his imagination, writes me an ode or a brisk romance, full of daring thought and action. He smites and arouses me with his shrill tones, breaks up my whole chain of habits, and I open my eye on my own possibilities. He claps wings to the sides of all the solid old lumber of the world, and I am capable once more of choosing a straight path in theory and practice.
