Walden by Henry David Thoreau (13 ebook reader txt) π
Description
Walden is one of the more famous transcendentalist tracts in modern American literature. First published in 1854, Walden is an account of Thoreauβs famous experiment in solitude: spending over two years alone in a cabin near the wilderness.
Walden is broken into sections that meditate on single themes: economy, reading, sounds, solitude, visitors, and so on. The style is complex, weaving back and forth between simple, home-spun prose and complex allegory, metaphor, and allusion. This makes Walden an interesting read because while it may seem accessible on the surface, itβs a book that requires deep and repeated reading to fully appreciate its many complexities.
