Synopsis:
Non-fiction. Memoir.
Published in 1854 by Henry David Thoreau, Walden is one of the most prominent pieces of transcendentalist American literature.
…chronicles the two years that Thoreau spent in a cabin on the property owned by his friend and fellow transcendentalist writer Ralph Waldo Emerson. The cabin was near a body of water called Walden Pond.
Thoreau thought that by cutting out interaction with other humans and the modern conveniences (or what was considered modern in the 1850s), Thoreau thought he could get down to the true essence of what living really meant.
Thoreau’s language is not terribly accessible, and he frequently uses irony, witticisms, and satire to make his point, and it can be difficult for a reader to tell when he’s being serious and when he’s not.
