Im Sommer 1845 zieht der amerikanische Schriftsteller, Philosoph und Freigeist Henry David Thoreau in den Wald, genauer: in eine selbstgebaute Blockhütte am Walden-See in Massachusetts, einsam gelegen und fernab von den Einflüssen einer schon damals immer schneller und lauter werdenden Zivilisation. Thoreaus Gedanken über Nachhaltigkeit und ein einfaches, freies Dasein zählen zu den Gründungstexten der Umweltbewegung. Sie sind eine Unabhängigkeitserklärung, ein soziales Experiment und eine spirituelle Entdeckungsreise, heute noch genauso existentiell wie damals. – Mit einer kompakten Biographie des Autors.

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.
