Walden Review: Pithy, Witty, Wholesome and Enlightened - This is book reflects the unconventional genius that brought to light the American movement called Existentialism. As well as being a book of great popularity for university-level English Literature courses, its pithy, witty and wholesome writing makes it worthy for anyone curious about what it truly means to be a member of our modern society. The freedoms we consider in this present-day as an indisputable right, in his day were considered impudent, even vulgar. He swept aside all thoughts of such prissiness and convention to challenge at every turn what could be called the insanity of established societal norms. His highest goal, explicit and implicit, were to honour the ascendancy of the Individual as paramount, along with rational thought, in the determination of one's personal conduct and life's purpose. In effect, reading his words is to listen to the muses of an enlightened man, as so he was, Henry David Thoreau. Review: Interesting Life Advice - Thoreau writes of his experience living in the woods in a cabin he built on Ralph Waldo Emerson's property in Concord, MA where he dwelt for 2 years. The first half or so is very interesting as he describes building his cabin and living off the land. He argues that people spend too much time working to make money to acquire things they really don't need and never really live. They are slaves to their lifestyle and what others expect. They have little if any time to themselves, while Thoreau spends his days doing whatever he wants in large part. He enjoys nature and writes in detail about everything he observes. When he takes 10+ pages to describe his observations of the ice melting on Walden Pond, I must admit, I thought it was time for him to rejoin society. But, for all the sections where he goes off the deep end, it is an interesting read because he complains about everything we do today and this takes place in 1846-1848: useless politicians whose only interest is in being reelected and being taxed for services he does not use (real estate based school tax). Thoreau refuses to pay his tax and is jailed. He loves it but someone bails hm out much to his chagrin. The reason for knocking off a star is he does go on sometimes. Warning: when this book was written some words had different meanings than they do today. This makes it sometimes challenging to follow. This is not a beach read. Read it when you have time to complicate it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,804,452 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #68 in Environmentalist & Naturalist Biographies #3,384 in Rich & Famous Biographies #4,760 in Essays (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (2,297) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.45 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1505297729 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1505297720 | | Item Weight | 11.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 196 pages | | Publication date | October 25, 2018 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![Walden - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JQbb3+DoL.jpg) ![Walden - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51e2dVsc8eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pithy, Witty, Wholesome and Enlightened *by T***N on September 1, 2015* This is book reflects the unconventional genius that brought to light the American movement called Existentialism.
