Description:
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), friend and pupil of philosopher Emerson, was an individualist and lover of nature. In 1845 he built himself a wooden hut near Walden Pond, Concord, Massachusetts, where he lived as a kind of Robinson Crusoe for 2 years. "Walden, or life in the Woods", published in 1854 is a record of that experiment in simple living. From that safe and friendly place he was looking upon his world and that other one - human society - in which he already saw the dangers of overproduction, overconsumption and overorganisation.
Walden Pond becomes a mirror into which one can measure the depth of his own nature...
