Book summary

In 1845, Henry David Thoreau builds a cabin with his own hands beside Walden Pond, in the woods of Massachusetts, and lives there alone for two years. He grows beans, watches the seasons and the animals, and reduces his needs to the bare essentials.

A book that invites you to ask what you really need in order to live. It has become a touchstone for everyone seeking a simpler, freer life, closer to nature.

With the translation always in front of you, you can read it chapter by chapter, at your own pace, in the language you are learning.

The plot

Két év egy kunyhóban, egy tó partján. A szerző, egy 27 éves fiatalember, kölcsönkér egy fejszét, fenyőket vág ki, és kis faházat épít magának egy tó partján.

The world of the book

Egy tó az erdőben, egy falu közelében. A Walden-tó Concord erdeiben rejtőzik; Concord falu harminc kilométerre fekszik Boston városától.
