<em>Nature </em>is a book written by Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882) published in 1836. The book has a form of an essay, where the author discusses the relationship between humans and nature. According to Emerson, a man should find a sense of his life in nature and the universe that surrounds him and forget about money and any material goods.
<em>Woman in the Nineteenth Century</em> is an essay book by Margaret Fuller (1810 – 1846), published in 1843. In this essay, Fuller explains a women's position in society and explains that they aren't less capable than men. She criticizes gender inequality and society for establishing gender hierarchies and restricting women's rights.
<em>Walden </em>(<em>Walden, or, Life in the Woods</em>) is a book that consists of 18 essays by Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), published in 1854. Walden describes how simple and pleasant our lives could be, based on his life in nature, in the cabin he built at Walden Pond.
<em>Orphic Sayings </em>is a book of 100 aphorisms by Amos Bronson Alcott (1799 – 1888), published in the transcendental journal <em>Dial </em>between 1840 and 1842. These sayings show us the mystical and transcendental idealism of Bronson Alcott and reveal some of his thoughts about life, nature, faith, time, etc.
