Unabridged version of Walden, by Henry David Thoreau, offered here
for chump change. The noted transcendentalist Thoreau wrote Walden
as a reflection upon simple living. It is part personal declaration,
part social experiment, and part manual for self-reliance.
Nature was a study for the essayist, naturalist, and environmentalist
David Thoreau. He communed from his cabin on Walden Pond, owned by Ralph
Waldo Emerson, to "live deliberately, to front only the essential facts
of life, and... learn what it had to teach."
Walden is landmark book on self-reliance and simple living.
