<p>2016 Reprint of 1854 Edition. &nbsp;This is perhaps Thoreau&rsquo;s most famous transcendentalist work. The text is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. &nbsp;The work is part personal declaration of independence social experiment voyage of spiritual discovery satire and manual for self-reliance.&nbsp; First published in 1854 Walden details Thoreau&#39;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 Ralph Waldo Emerson near Concord Massachusetts. Thoreau used this time to write his first book &ldquo;A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers.&rdquo; The experience later inspired &ldquo;Walden&rdquo; in which Thoreau compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development. By immersing himself in nature Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. Simple living and self-sufficiency were Thoreau&#39;s other goals and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy a central theme of the American Romantic Period.</p>
