Ralph Waldo Emerson was born on 25 of May 1803 in Boston and was a famous writer, American philosopher and poet.Poetry and Imagination was published in 1836 and is considered one of the most important works of Emerson and served as a major inspiration for writers like Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Henry David Thoreau in Walden, one of the most important American classics.

"El erudito y el estudioso del pensamiento no tienen el monopolio de la sabiduría. En cierta medida, la violencia de su prescripción les descalifica para pensar verdaderamente".Entre muchas otras ideas, esta sobresale por su contundencia: con ella Emerson pone a cada quien en su lugar y apunta hacia el lugar donde se puede buscar la sabiduria. Es uno de los pensamientos de un hombre simple, cotidiano, sensible que supo captar el alma humana y ser fuente inspiradora de muchas reflexiones sobre el hombre y su mision. Emerson representa, para el pensamiento del hombre moderno un oasis en medio del desierto: su ascesis personal se manifiesta, nitidamente, en los cuatro ensayos que incluimos en esta edicion. El hilo que los une es la exaltacion del espiritu y de la suprema individualidad, y la promocion de la belleza como posibilidad de redencion bajo un solido principio: su absoluto rechazo a cualquier forma de prescripcion. Emerson dibuja el alma humana sin necesidad de precepto y su lectura actual en español, en esta nueva traduccion de Elena Carramiñana, se vuelve indispensable en los tiempos que corren.

Excerpt from Emersons Essay on CompensationThese thoughts on government, religion, and art alike, are colored by democracy. The exclusive in fashionable life does not see that he excludes himself from enjoyment, in the attempt to appropriate it. The exclusionist in religion does not see that he shuts the door of heaven on himself in striving to shut out others. The best part of a writer has nothing pri vate in it.
