Walden and Civil Disobedience

Exploring themes of simple living and self-reliance, the book reflects Thoreau's personal journey into nature as a means of gaining insight into society. It serves as a declaration of independence and a social experiment, blending spiritual discovery with elements of satire. Inspired by transcendentalist philosophy, Thoreau's immersion in the natural world aims to foster a deeper understanding of life and promote self-sufficiency.
