Thoreau is kind of an ass hole and kind of hilarious. His moralizing gets a little tedious at times but I liked a lot of what he had to say and his descriptions of the woods were fannnntastic.
Fascinating read. I think it would be interesting to have this book 'redone' so to speak in this era and compare differences in means to be able to live mininally as he did.
Honestly had some problems with what I felt like was a bit classist and undermined Henries actual message. Good book, but not my kind of book

Неспешное, расслабляющее чтение. Парень в 27 лет, устав от общества потребления и информационного шума (в 1-ой половине 19-го века), уехал из своей деревни в построенную им самим хижину на берегу пруда и прожил там два года. И книга это заметки о его быте, описание наблюдений за природой и животными, а также размышления по множеству вопросов (например, о том как важно читать классиков в оригинале, впрочем чуть позже выясняется, что Гомер еще не был переведен на английский в то время).

I'm sure there are some absolute gems somewhere in this book but just the few pages I read pissed me off enough that I decided to read a few reviews, and based on those I've decided this book is simply not for me. I cannot stand people who think they're so much better than everyone else and don't see why I should put myself through reading an entire book of that attitude just because it has one or two profound things to say. Extremely disappointed.
Fortaleci a minha vontade de ter uma vida idílica, pretendo prolongar além do que o Thoreau executou, mas penso que não teria o mesmo aproveitamento que ele teve, ao relatar tudo de forma tão detalhada.
