Walden
ByPublisher Description
Walden is one of the more famous transcendentalist tracts in modern American literature. First published in 1854, Walden is an account of Thoreau's famous experiment in solitude: spending over two years alone in a cabin near the wilderness of Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts.Walden is broken into sections that meditate on single themes: economy, reading, sounds, solitude, visitors, and so on. The style weaves between simple, home-spun prose and complex allegory and allusion. Thoreau's experiment was partly motivated by economy, partly by the desire to prove that a man could live comfortably on almost nothing-to show that civilization's demand that people spend their whole lives in drudgery was unnecessary.Perfect for readers who appreciate philosophy, nature writing, and American classics, Walden remains one of the most influential books in American literature, inspiring generations of readers to simplify their lives and reconnect with the natural world.
