Originally published in 1854, Walden or Life in the Wood by Henry David Thoreau is the author's reflection on living a simple life in the woods of nature. It is somewhat a statement of independence, social experiment, and spiritual awakening. It is set on Walden Pond where Thoreau built a cabin and lived there over the course of 2 years, 2 months, and 2 days. The land upon where the cabin was built was owned by fellow author and friend of Thoreau's, Ralph Waldo Emerson.
