Summary:
Walden by Henry David Thoreau is one among the best-known non-fiction books written by an American. Published in 1854, it details Thoreau's life for 2 years, two months, and two days round the shores of Walden Pond. Walden is neither a completely unique nor a real autobiography, but a social critique of the Western World, with each chapter heralding some aspect of humanity that needed to be either renounced or praised. along side his critique of the civilized world, Thoreau examines other issues afflicting man in society, starting from economy and reading to solitude and better laws. He also takes time to speak about the experience at Walden Pond itself, commenting on the animals and therefore the way people treated him for living there, using those experiences to bring out his philosophical positions. This extended commentary on nature has often been interpreted as a robust statement to the natural religion that transcendentalists like Thoreau and Emerson were preaching.
