Synopsis

Walden is a collection of essays by American author Henry David Thoreau, published in 1854. The book chronicles his more than two years of solitary life at Walden Pond, its core being an experiment in a simple lifestyle in response to societal materialism. 
Thoreau argued that by drastically reducing material needs (building one's own house, farming), one can gain more time and freedom to observe nature, read, and contemplate, thus achieving spiritual independence. The book is structured around the four seasons, filled with poetic descriptions of nature and profound reflections on social customs, and is considered a classic of American Transcendentalism.
