Walden by Henry David Thoreau Book Summary
Walden (first published as Walden; or, Life in the
Woods) by Henry David Thoreau is an American classic. The work is part
personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual
discovery, and manual for self reliance.
Published in 1854, it details Thoreau's sojourn in a cabin near Walden Pond,
amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near
Concord, Massachusetts. However, Emerson's lack of enthusiasm for the project
can be seen in this thought delivered during Thoreau's funeral:
I so much regret the loss of his rare powers of action, that I cannot
help counting it a fault in him that he had no ambition. Wanting this [that is,
lacking ambition] instead of engineering for all America, he was the captain of
a huckleberry party. Pounding beans is good to the end of pounding empires one
of these days; but if, at the end of years, it is still only
beans!"
Thoreau did not intend to live as a hermit, for he received visitors and
returned their visits. Rather, he hoped to isolate himself from society to gain
a more objective understanding of it. Simple living and self-sufficiency were
Thoreau's other goals, and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist
philosophy, a central theme of the American Romantic Period. As Thoreau made
clear in his book, his cabin was not in wilderness but at the edge of town, not
far from his family home.
