NOTES

Read by Cyril Taylor-Carr, The Cliff

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me the truth. " "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be." "As if you could kill time without injuring eternity." Walden was published in 1854 by American transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau. The text is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, a social experiment, a voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and-to some degree-a manual for self-reliance. Henry David Thoreau was an American naturalist, essayist, poet, and philosopher. A leading transcendentalist, he is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay "Civil Disobedience", an argument for disobedience to an unjust state. A true audiobook treasure!
