More about the book

Henry David Thoreau's classic account of his time spent in solitude in the woods by Walden Pond having left Concord, Massachusetts in 1845, disdainful of America's growing commercialism and industrialism. It is full of Transcendentalist yearning for spiritual truth and self-reliance as well as observation of nature.

Thoreau takes us to 19th-century America, where he spent over two years living simply by Walden Pond. It’s part reflection on a simpler life, part critique of materialism. Some parts drag a bit, but overall, it’s worth the read.
