あらすじ・解説
This modernized translation of Walden:
- rewords the outdated, formal language of the original text
- uses simple, conversational style to depict experiences and preserve Thoreau’s philosophies, ideas, and transcendentalist significance
- removes ancient Greek/Roman literature/mythology references
- adds chapter subheadings for easy subject reference points
Walden is a book too important not to listen to.
Considered Henry Thoreau’s masterwork and an American literary classic, Walden is not only a philosophical essay on labor, leisure, self-reliance, and individualism, but also an influential piece of nature writing that enthusiastically advocates his minimalist views and life choice to “Simplify, Simplify!” Lives have been impacted by reading Walden and volumes written about it by scholars, nature experts, PhD candidates, college freshmen, and high school English teachers alike.
But for many, Walden is anything but simple, regarded as too great a challenge because of the complex writing style and 19th-century language hurdles, and left on a shelf to collect dust. Until now!
Walden, A 21st-Century Modernized Translation is intended for a new generation of listeners and for anyone who’s thought about testing the waters of Walden but admits to missing the point of the book for the challenging language. This version is easy to listen to and understand, and provides an opportunity to walk the shoreline, explore the wooded hillsides around Walden Pond, and plunge headfirst into the heart and soul of Henry Thoreau’s enduring views on nonconformity, self-sufficient living in natural surroundings, and the higher principles of a simple, inspired life.
