In 1845, the American Transcendentalist philosopher Henry David Thoreau went to live in the woods near his hometown of Concord, Massachusetts. For over two years he resided there largely in solitary, in a small cabin built by his own hands. Walden is his personal account of this time, in which he documents both his passion for the landscape and wildlife of Walden Pond, and his philosophical and political motivations for rejecting the materialism which continues to define not only America, but much of the modern world.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) é considerado um dos mais importantes escritores norte-americanos.
Ensaísta, poeta, naturalista, investigador, historiador, filósofo e transcendentalista, é autor de inúmeros ensaios, entre os quais Desobediência Civil. O seu pensamento inspirou grandes nomes que mudaram a sociedade, como Gandhi, Tolstói ou Martin Luther King, Jr., a quem devemos um mundo mais justo e mais livre do que aquele em que viveu o autor.
Considerado também um dos pioneiros do movimento ecologista, sempre defendeu o contacto com a Natureza, que advoga neste clássico intemporal A Arte de Andar a Pé.
