Walden is a book by noted transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau.
First published in 1854, Walden details Thoreau\'s experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor R.
The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and-to some degree-a manual for self-reliance.
The text is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings.
