The classic chronicle of a communion with nature at Walden Pond offers a message of living simply and in harmony with nature.Thoreau's Walden is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and manual for self reliance. It details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years in a cabin he built near Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. By immersing himself in nature, Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. 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.
