Summary
Among the writers to emerge during the mid-19th century transcendental movement, Henry David Thoreau is perhaps the most popular and recognizable, thanks in no small part to his book Walden. After spending two years in a self-built cabin in the woods -- on the property of fellow writer and transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson -- the Massachusetts-born author, poet and philosopher put on paper his experiences among nature, listening to the sounds around him, growing food, reading and even receiving visitors. An American classic, throughout Walden Thoreau entreats readers to reject conformity, learn the peace found through solitude and embrace simplistic living.
