Walden, or Life in the Woods
This is a masterpiece by the American essayist HD Thoreau, published in 1854. As the subtitle "Walden" suggests, it is an essay-style compilation of events from a year's worth of experiences during his experimental self-sufficient life in the woods around Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts, from 1845 to 1847. Thoreau presents a sharp theory on civilization amidst beautiful observations of nature.
