More about the book

"This work describes Henry David Thoreau's experiment in living in the relative wilds by Walden Pond from 1845 to 1847. It is an examination of the ecology of his time, and is by turns a source of philosophical speculation, social protest, personal anecdote and the study of nature" -- Amazon.com.

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.
