Cover of Henry David Thoreau: Walden (ePUB)

Walden oder Leben in den Wäldern (engl. Originaltitel Walden; or, Life in the Woods) – auch als Walden oder Hüttenleben im Walde erschienen – ist ein Buch des amerikanischen Schriftstellers Henry David Thoreau aus dem Jahr 1854 über sein zeitweiliges Leben als Aussteiger, das zum „Klassiker aller Alternativen“ wurde. n Walden beschreibt Thoreau sein Leben in einer Blockhütte, die er sich 1845 in den Wäldern von Concord (Massachusetts) am See Walden Pond auf einem Grundstück seines Freundes Ralph Waldo Emerson baute, um dort für mehr als zwei Jahre der industrialisierten Massengesellschaft der jungen USA den Rücken zu kehren. Nach eigener Aussage ging es ihm dabei jedoch nicht um eine naive Weltflucht, sondern um den Versuch, einen alternativen und ausgewogenen Lebensstil zu verwirklichen.
