Walden

I learned this at least by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.Published in the mid-19th century Walden chronicles Henry David Thoreaus life secluded from society as he lived in a small cabin at Walden Pond. One of the most compelling books in American literature Walden is a reminiscence of self-discovery that resonates even more so in todays hectic world. A journey to self-discovery Thoreaus two years two months and two days spent living in a natural surrounding provides us with the insight to his renewed spirituality and a guide to simple living and self-reliance.Included is Thoreaus famous essay On the Duty of Civil Disobedience.
