Walden is a profound reflection on simplicity, self-reliance, and the relationship between humanity and nature, set against the backdrop of a secluded life by Walden Pond.
Henry David Thoreau critiques the materialism and societal conventions of 19th-century America, advocating for a life of deliberate purpose and harmony with the natural world. Through his personal experiment in minimalist living, Thoreau explores themes of solitude, introspection, and the pursuit of higher truths.
