Retreat from the constant buzz of the television, the invasion of privacy resulting from the cell phone, and the pestering notion that “men have become the tools of their tools,” with Walden and Other Writings. On July 4, 1845, Thoreau left behind the hustle and bustle of contemporary American life for a solitary existence in a cabin in Massachusetts. Free from societal constraints – though not free from imprisonment, as evidenced by his brief stint in jail for refusing to pay his taxes after asserting himself independent of the U.S. government – Thoreau wrote some of the most well-known nature essays to date. Lyrical and philosophical, Walden is a classic, and Thoreau has been quoted and written about by such great men as Martin Luther King Jr. and E.B. White.
