Walden

Thoreau's account of two years spent living deliberately in a cabin at Walden Pond, exploring self-reliance, simplicity, and communion with nature. A foundational text of American transcendentalism and environmentalism, it challenges readers to examine what is truly necessary. Both memoir and manifesto.
