"Walden" is the representative work of American writer Thoreau. It is a diary of the author's mood when he lived alone in the forest, including deep reflections on himself and nature. The work is beautifully written and the language is timeless and wise. It is a classic that has been passed down by people throughout the ages. In the spring of 1845, Thoreau came to the shores of Walden Pond, not far from his hometown of Concord, and spent more than two years living in seclusion, farming and eating on his own, meditating on writing, advocating the freedom and leisure of the soul, and faithfully recording his true feelings for nature. In his paintings, nature, human beings and transcendental ideals merge and merge into a seamless whole. Thoreau published a collection of essays "Walden" describing this experience in 1845. Over the centuries, the quiet, tranquil and wise words in the book have won the resonance of more and more readers around the world and become a far-reaching masterpiece in the history of literature.
Reader comments
This book is like a beautiful prose poem, which makes people intoxicated in the beauty of nature. I like the passages where the author meditates by the lake and talks to nature. He said: "I came to this forest because I wanted to live a thoughtful life and face only the basic facts of life." This sentence really touched me deeply and made me start to think about my own way of life.
