In this essay, Emerson lays the foundation for the Transcendental movement. Transcendentalism teaches that every individual has an intuitive understanding of the world, and that this understanding is shows us that we are connected to nature and to each other. We publish the world's books. We have the largest collection of classics, and we believe that they are the highest quality, too. Don't take our word for it, peek inside and you'll see why we brag.

Originally published anonymously, Nature was the first modern essay to recommend the appreciation of the outdoors as an all-encompassing positive force. Emerson’s writings were recognized as uniquely American in style and content, and launched the idea of going for a walk as a new way of looking at the world. Generations of readers have been inspired by Emerson’s ideal of self-reliance, and his vision of nature as a manifestation of the divine spirit has profoundly influenced American naturalists and environmentalists from Thoreau’s time to the present. These selections from the best-loved of Emerson’s writings contain some of the most memorable and important expressions of American thought.
