An American masterwork in praise of nature, self-reliance, and the simple life
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the
essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach,
and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." In 1845, the
transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau moved from his home in the town of
Concord, Massachusetts, to a small cabin he built by hand on the shores of
Walden Pond. He spent the next two years alone in the woods, learning to live
self-sufficiently and to take his creative and moral inspiration from nature.
Part memoir, part philosophical treatise, part environmental manifesto, Walden
is Thoreau’s inspirational account of those extraordinary years and one of the
most influential books ever written.
