Walden, one of the best-known non-fiction Americna books, is written by author by Henry David Thoreau and originally published in 1854. Waldens details Thoreau's sojourn in a cabin near Walden Pond by Concord, Massachusetts, near woodland owned by friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson. Thoreau, who hoped to isolate himself at this location lived like a hermit to gain a more objective understanding of isolation. His main goals were simpilicity and self-reliance, and this project was largely inspired by Transcendentalist philosophy. Walden is highly recommended for those who are fans of the writings of Henry David Thoreau and also those discovering his works for the first time.
