Walden, Version 2

by Henry David Thoreau

Walden is an extended meditation on simple living in natural surroundings. It is also a reflection on the meaning of life, the nature of society, and the role of the individual. Thoreau's experiences at Walden Pond taught him the importance of self-reliance, the value of simplicity, and the power of nature to heal and inspire.
