Walden está considerada como una obra literaria maestra y como uno de los libros seminales de su siglo. Antiesclavista militante, toda la obra de Henry David Thoreau se centra en la búsqueda de la "vida con principios", principios que serán el criterio de cómo debe ser vivida —con la honradez del trabajo como medio para ganarse la vida—, una vida que él explora y experimenta a través del estudio y la comprensión de la Naturaleza.

El 4 de julio de 1845, Thoreau se traslada a vivir en la cabaña que él mismo había construido en Walden Pond. Durante dos años escribe allí la obra homónima en la que describe su economía doméstica, sus experimentos en agricultura, sus visitantes y vecinos, las plantas y la vida salvaje. La obra de Thoreau es la historia de un experimento original, sin precedentes literarios. Walden es un modo de escribir, de ponerse a "disposición de las palabras", pero también es una Escritura, una forma de aprender lo que la vida tiene que enseñar.

Work Description

Walden first published in 1854 as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) is a book by American transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau. The text is a reflection upon the author's simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and—to some degree—a manual for self-reliance.

Walden details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts.

Thoreau makes precise scientific observations of nature as well as metaphorical and poetic uses of natural phenomena. He identifies many plants and animals by both their popular and scientific names, records in detail the color and clarity of different bodies of water, precisely dates and describes the freezing and thawing of the pond, and recounts his experiments to measure the depth and shape of the bottom of the supposedly "bottomless" Walden Pond.
