About this ebook
The hustle-bustle of the city usually distances us from our true selves and our essence of being alive gets lost within the greater race of existing for materialistic goals. Thoreau takes us on a break through his two-year-long experience of learning, failing and surviving through it all in a cabin he builds by the Walden Pond in Massachusetts. He discovers a sense of fulfillment within the solitude of his cabin before he returns to the shiny city life. This masterpiece will take you on a journey of meeting yourself once again through the lens of a man who isn' t lonely when he' s alone. As a philosophical treatise, this work comes alive and helps the reader locate themselves within his progress too.
