This carefully crafted ebook: ‘WALDEN (American Classics Series)’ is formatted for your e Reader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
Walden details Thoreau’s experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built in the woods near Walden Pond, Massachusetts. Thoreau compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development. Part memoir, part personal quest, the book is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, where Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection.
