Walking by Henry David Thoreau
"Walking" by Henry David Thoreau is a lecture first delivered in 1851 and published as an essay in 1862. Born from over a decade of walking and journal-keeping, this work explores the relationship between wilderness and society through the author's personal observations of nature. Thoreau delivered this piece more than any of his other lectures, refining his thoughts on exploration, self-reflection, and the wild. Using allusion and an innovative writing style, he
crafted a critique of contemporary society that continues to resonate with readers today. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
