Henry David Thoreau
À propos de ce contenu audio
What happens when one of America’s most independent thinkers crosses the border and looks back at his own country from the outside?
In *A Yankee in Canada*, Henry David Thoreau recounts his journey from New England into French Canada, traveling through Montreal, Quebec City, the countryside surrounding the St. Lawrence River, and the dramatic landscapes beyond.
With his characteristic wit and sharp eye for contradiction, Thoreau observes French-Canadian customs, Catholic religious life, British military influence, architecture, agriculture, and the rhythms of everyday life. Yet this is far more than a conventional travelogue.
Encountering a society shaped by colonial rule and traditions very different from those of New England, Thoreau reflects on nationality, democracy, freedom, religion, and what it means to be American. His observations move effortlessly between landscape and philosophy, finding larger questions of culture and government in everything from churches and fortifications to farms and village streets.
Based on Thoreau’s 1850 journey and later published in complete form after his death, *A Yankee in Canada* offers a fascinating combination of travel writing, social criticism, humor, and transcendentalist reflection.
Narrated by Ross Billie.
