19 août 1854 - Henry David Thoreau's "Walden"

Description:

Henry David Thoreau's "Walden" is a reflection on simple living in natural surroundings, stemming from his two-year experiment in self-sufficiency in a cabin he built near Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts, published in 1854. The book is a critique of contemporary consumerist culture and an exploration of the philosophical and spiritual benefits of a minimalist, nature-oriented lifestyle, influencing environmentalist thought and civil disobedience movements.
