'Walden o la vida en los bosques' es el diario informal de un hombre que se refugia en la naturaleza y la obra más conocida del norteamericano H. D. Thoreau (1817-1862), padre espiritual de la cantera de escritores yanquis que se declaran anticivilización norteamericana. Cansado y decepcionado del progreso, de la frivolidad de una sociedad imbécil y de sus fracasos amorosos, Thoreau deja la enseñanza, cierra su fábrica de lápices, se convierte en asceta, eremita y misógino y se larga al campo para vivir con los págjaros, los peces, los árboles y las flores. Así nació Walden..., de los dos años, entre el 4 de julio de 1845 y el 6 de septiembre de 1847, que pasó el autor en una cabaña, construida por él mismo, a orillas del lago Walden. Anecdótico de estos años es el episodio del arresto de Thoreau, por haberse negado a pagar los impuestos a un gobierno que desaprobaba moralmente. El incidente dio origen al polémico escrito 'Del deber de la desobediencia civil', que se incluye también en el libro.

Work Description

Walden first published in 1854 as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) is a book by American transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau. The text is a reflection upon the author's simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and—to some degree—a manual for self-reliance.

Walden details Thoreau'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 makes precise scientific observations of nature as well as metaphorical and poetic uses of natural phenomena. He identifies many plants and animals by both their popular and scientific names, records in detail the color and clarity of different bodies of water, precisely dates and describes the freezing and thawing of the pond, and recounts his experiments to measure the depth and shape of the bottom of the supposedly "bottomless" Walden Pond.
