Om denne bog
A TRANQUIL VOYAGE OF SPIRITUAL DISCOVERY

In Walden, (Or, Life in the Woods) Henry David Thoreau details his 1845 retreat into a cabin he built near Walden Pond. Set amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, it served as Thoreau’s immersion into nature and escape from the distractions of social life. He stayed for two years, two months and two days.

Thoreau used his time at Walden Pond to write his first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. When writing Walden, Thoreau compresses the two years spent in the woods into a single calendar year, using the passing of four seasons to symbolize human development.

Part his personal declaration of independence and part social experiment, Thoreau also spends time making precise scientific observations of nature, recording in detail the color and clarity of the different bodies of water, describing the freezing and thawing of the pond, and detailing his experiments to measure the depth and shape of the supposedly “bottomless” Walden Pond.

A Transcendentalist, Thoreau’s text reflects upon simple living in natural surroundings. It is a call to reconnect with nature, escape the noise of modern life and immerse yourself in the serene, introspective world of spiritual discovery. It is a manual for self-reliance and a celebration of simple living and tranquility offering wisdom and insights that remain profoundly relevant in today’s hectic, noisy world.
