Walden; or, Life in the Woods

Originally published in 1854, 'Walden; or, Life in the Woods' is a vivid account of Henry David Thoreau's time living alone in a cabin near Walden Pond, near Concord, Massachusetts.

The book is a reflection on simple living, self-reliance, and spiritual discovery.

It details Thoreau's experiences over two years, two months, and two days, during which he built a small dwelling, observed nature, and meditated on the human condition.

The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, and manual for self-reliance, emphasizing the importance of simplicity and the untapped potential within humanity.
