Ojos llenos de alegría

Ralph Waldo Emerson was in his time and will always be an infinite source of inspiration. Champion of self-confidence and the adoption of a sense of moral happiness, he is an incomparable example of fraternity and humanism. All of this can be perceived by reading his monumental diary and his book Nature, Transcendentalism Manifesto, his paper "The American Scholar", a pioneer in a United States in the process of forging its own culture, and his speech at the Harvard Theological Faculty in the who criticized institutionalized religion. This courageous conduct and his optimistic philosophy go through, in a vivid and exciting way, Ojos llenos de alegría, an essay in which Toni Montesinos addresses the life and work of the considered founder of North American letters, who influenced authors such as Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman or Louisa May Alcott. A heroic and familiar man, who in a time marked by politics, slavery and war, committed himself to the intuitive search for the truth, to serve his neighbor and to find the divine everywhere and within each human being.
