Features: Walden is a transcendent book. Due to severe pollution, people have lost the tranquility of the countryside, so Thoreau's works are read and cherished worldwide. — George Eliot (Renowned British female writer)
Thoreau was a genius with a unique personality. To the farmers, he was a skilled surveyor, even more knowledgeable about their forests, meadows, and trees, but he was also an extraordinary writer who wrote the best books in his country. — Emerson (Renowned American writer and thinker)
The style is very clear, un, simple yet elegant; the author has a lively personality, wonderful experiences, and various special knowledge.
Thoreau discovered: If you limit your desires, you only need a small amount of money to satisfy them. — Somerset Maugham (Renowned British writer)
Walden is astonishing in every word, shining in every character, touching the heart and moving the soul. At night when it is deep and silent, the book is not obscure but clear as water. Reciting it, one cannot help but be filled with longing. — Xu Chi (Renowned Chinese writer)
This is a good book that has not received enough attention from readers. Compared to the important position Walden holds in the world literary arena, Chinese readers' familiarity with this work is far from sufficient, which is also the reason why the author recommends this classic work to readers. In this book, Thoreau meticulously records all his economic records during his period of seclusion from an economic perspective. He uses the numbers he recorded to prove the practicality of a simple lifestyle—personal seclusion. Now, it is not an exaggeration to say that Thoreau is the pioneer of a simple lifestyle. This book is not only beautifully written but also profound in meaning. It can be said that it is a must-read work for a serious thinker and writer in their lifetime.
