Walden details Henry David Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. The text is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and-to some degree-a manual for self-reliance.
Walden can be seen as performance art, a demonstration of how easy it can be to acquire the four necessities of life. Once acquired, he believed people should then focus their efforts on personal growth. Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. Simple living and self-sufficiency were Thoreau's other goals, and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy, a central theme of the American Romantic Period.

Ein Klassiker unter den Piratengeschichten! Den Anfang fand ich etwas zäh, dafür war dann das eigentliche Abenteuer auf See umso spannender. Long John Silver ist mir ein Rätsel geblieben. Auf Englisch überwiegend gut lesbar, nur die wörtliche Rede der Piraten hat es manchmal in sich.
