About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
As you read this summary, you will discover that Henry David Thoreau, a 19th century American essayist, lived alone for almost two years in a cabin on Lake Walden, Massachusetts. He built this cabin with his own hands and kept his needs to a minimum. Without living completely isolated (his cabin was located a few miles from the town of Concord), he lived for several months, the experience of a life outside the norm. In "Walden or life in the woods" he describes this experience.
You will also discover :
- his rejection of society and the affirmation of his freedom;
- how to get a house cheaply;
- the benefits of self-sufficiency;
- voluntary simplicity: the real luxury is time;
- how to rid oneself of possessions so as not to become a slave to one's possessions;
- that far from material contingencies, it is possible to observe the world and oneself;
- how to get to know oneself.
The vast majority of men live a life of quiet despair. From morning to night, they work tirelessly to support themselves and pay their debts. They do not perceive that their lives are passing without nobility and that in order to gain access to a few possessions, they give up what is most precious to them: their freedom. It is to stop this absurd and disordered flight forward that this experience of retreat is carried out, in order to regain the essential meaning of existence.
