Walden Pond (translated by Famous Writers)

About This Novel
At the end of March 1845, Thoreau came to Walden Pond, started to build a cabin, and moved in on July 4, the American Independence Day. He also planted a small piece of land by the lake to maintain a minimum life. While observing the animals and plants in the forest, listening to the revelations of nature, he was engaged in reading and writing. Thoreau wrote "Walden" based on what he saw, heard and thought at Walden Pond. The manuscript was revised seven times in seven years. The first edition of the book was titled "Walden, or Life in the Woods." However, from the second edition onwards, the author only retained the title "Walden." "Walden" not only vividly describes the author's independent and leisurely life in the forest, but also contains introspection and criticism of the human value system at every turn, making people feel as if they have found a pure land of the soul after reading it, and their spirit has been sublimated. This book has been called one of the "Ten Wonderful Books That Shape the American Character."
