Walden

Life in the Woods

De: Henry David Thoreau

Narrado por: Alec Sand

Thoreau's classic account of the solitary life, describing his attempts to simplify his life and sort out his priorities by living alone in a cabin beside Walden Pond for nearly two years, is one of the most influential books ever written. The bible of the environmental movement, Walden vividly portrays Thoreau's reverence for nature, and his understanding of the idea that nature is made up of crucially interrelated parts.Public Domain (P)2006 Trout Lake Media

home remedy for existential angst

Home remedy for existential angst -- that pretty much covers it. Highly recommended for times like the present (2016 election season), or after reading Nietzche.
The narration glitched/repeated a few times, but the repeating sections were less than a minute and didn't disrupt the flow.

Thoreau was the best of us

Henry Thoreau spent two years, two months and two days living a simpler version of life so that he could change our view points for millennia. This book will change the way you see, hear, smell and experience our world. It is a pleasure to read and a warm reminder of the simple beauty in nature.

Literary practicality

I very much enjoyed the story and the practicality of it. I did not particlarly enjoy how the narrator would reread segments over and over several times like a broken record. I don't know if it's intentional or if they're just trying to fill the minutes up. It was quite distracting.

Difficult Read But At Moments Beautiful

This book has many remarkable passages that invoke the beauty of a simple life. With poignant observations about men and nature, it instills a sense of peace and wonder in the world...when it isn't boring you with tedium and condescending judgment doled out heavily throughout the narrative.

Get back to Humility and God’s country

Would have been much more difficult to read with the manner in which language was as used!
