Walden

Meer over het boek

Set in a cabin near Walden Pond, the narrative details Henry David Thoreau's two-year experiment in simple living and self-reliance. Blending personal reflection, social critique, and spiritual exploration, it serves as both a manifesto for independence and a guide to finding harmony with nature. Initially met with modest success, the book later gained acclaim as a cornerstone of American literature, celebrated for its insights into natural beauty and simplicity, earning recognition from contemporaries like Robert Frost.
