Walden, or Life in the Woods
6.99 €
Henry Thoreau spent two years, two months and two days in a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond, in voluntary isolation from society, farming, fishing, reading, giving up the unnecessary inventions of modern civilization.
The result of reclusiveness was the book "Walden, or Life in the Woods" - 18 essays-observations about the construction of a cabin, ways of farming, forest dwellers and nature. The colorful descriptions, apt satire, and temperamental polemics are all part of a personal declaration of independence, a social experiment, a journey of spiritual discovery, and - to some extent - a guide to self-reliance.
Henry Thoreau's autobiographical book, where he recounts an experiment far ahead of its time, has become an American classic and influenced a wide variety of currents of modern thought, from anarcho-capitalism to eco-socialism.
