Book Summary
Walden
(first published as Walden; or,Life in the Woods)
by Henry David Thoreau is one of the
best-
known non-fiction books written by an American.
Published in 1854,it details Thoreau's
sojourn
in a cabin near Walden Pond,amidst woodland owned
by his friend and mentor Ralph
Waldo
Emerson,near Concord,Massachusetts. Thoreau lived
at Walden for two years,two
months,and two
days,but Walden was written so that the stay
appears to be a year,with expressed
seasonal
divisions. Thoreau did not intend to live as a
hermit,for he received visitors and returned
their visits. Instead,he hoped to isolate
himself from society in order to gain a more
objective
understanding of it. Simplicity and
self-reliance were Thoreau's other goals,and the
whole project
was inspired by
Transcendentalist philosophy. However the house
was not in wilderness but at the
edge of
town,1.5 miles (2.4 km) from his family home,and
his mother cooked him meals and
cleaned the
house.

life and thought on the record, he has his own
farm, self-sufficient, though a man away from the
society, the seclusion of the wood, but life
is is a book quietly, very quiet very
quiet,
not is a lonely book, a book 's just a book one.
Some examples are:
Character Analysis:
Henry David Thoreau - freedom-loving,lonely,
independent, lover of solitude and poetic.
For
example:
Every morning was a cheerful
invitation to make my life of equal simplicity,and
I may say
innocence,with Nature herself.
My house was on the side of a young forest of
pitch pines and hickories,and half a dozen rods
from the pond,to which a narrow footpath led
down the hill.
Angelo a resplendent light
appeared over the shadow of his head at morning
and evening,whether
he was in Italy or
France,and it was particularly conspicuous when
the grass was moist with dew.
“And here a poet
builded In the completed year For behold a
trivial cabin That to destruction
steers.”--------a poet in the Walden
Theme
Self-reliance thus refers not just
to paying one’s own bills, but also more
philosophically to the
way the natural world
and humankind rely on the self to exist. This
duality explains the
connection between
Thoreau the accountant and Thoreau the poet, and
shows why the man who is
so interested in
pinching pennies is the same man who exults
lyrically over a partridge or a winter
sky.
They are both products of self-reliance, since the
economizing that allows Thoreau to live on
Walden Pond also allows him to feel one
with nature, to feel as though it is part of his
own soul.
Simplicity is more than a
mode of life for Thoreau; it is a philosophical
ideal as well. Another
irony of Thoreau’s
simplification campaign is that his literary
style, while concise, is far from
simple. It
contains witticisms, double meanings, and puns
that are not at all the kind of New
England
deadpan literalism that might pass for literary
simplicity. Despite its minimalist message,
Walden is an elevated text that would have
been much more accessible to educated city-
dwellers
than to the predominantly uneducated
country-dwellers.
Praises Abound for Walden
*Walden inspired the 1948 novel Walden Two by
psychologist B.F. Skinner.
* Walden Three,a
non-profit educational foundation that promotes
sustainable societies,takes its
name from the
book.
* In the early years of the Doonesbury
comic strip,the main characters lived in a commune
they
named Walden Puddle,a reference to Walden
Pond and a note of Thoreau's influence on the
student counterculture of the time.
*The
greatness of the Walden is Thoreau can be achieved
through art we are determined to do
business.
By creating an organic form, he makes his decision
to be renewed through
conscious effort, he
regained a mature tranquil, if that is not the
golden age of pure ecstasy.
