Thoreau's Walden

Meer over het boek

The serene setting of Walden Pond serves as the backdrop for Henry David Thoreau's two-year experiment in independent living, which has inspired countless visitors and established him as a key figure in American conservation. His one-room house, built in 1845, symbolizes a quest for simplicity and connection with nature. The area, rich in historical significance, is linked to both the Revolutionary War and the mid-nineteenth-century literary renaissance, making it a place of profound cultural and historical resonance.
