Synopsis

A multi-faceted classic of American literature and philosophy. At the beginning of the book, Thoreau leaves his civilized life behind, planning to live in the wilderness for two years to discover what a simpler, purer life has to offer him. He builds a home for himself near Walden pond, and begins on a journey of discovery. Throughout the course of the book Thoreau mixes in-depth explanations of how he lived with reflective musings on what his life of tranquility, simplicity, and closeness with nature taught him.
