Overview

En 1845, Thoreau construyó una pequeña cabaña junto al lago Walden. Su idea era procurarse sus propios recursos y vivir de la manera más simple y pura posible, como un asceta, dedicándose a escribir para ser un poeta de la naturaleza. En su cabaña tenía tres sillas: ""una para la soledad, otra para la amistad, y una tercera para la sociedad"". Permaneció ahí durante dos años, que sirvieron de inspiración para su obra maestra, Walden, un canto a la libertad del hombre y la vida en los bosques.

In his cabin he had three chairs: ""one for loneliness, another for friendship, and a third for society."" He stayed there for two years, which served as the inspiration for his masterpiece, Walden, a hymn to the freedom of man and life in the woods.
