Walden

Henry David Thoreau

De Marque · Narrated by Nick Bulka

About this audiobook

An American masterwork in praise of nature, self-reliance, and the simple life "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." In 1845, the transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau moved from his home in the town of Concord, Massachusetts, to a small cabin he built by hand on the shores of Walden Pond. He spent the next two years alone in the woods, learning to live self-sufficiently and to take his creative and moral inspiration from nature. Part memoir, part philosophical treatise, part environmental manifesto, Walden is Thoreau’s inspirational account of those extraordinary years and one of the most influential books ever written.

Ratings and reviews

The audio quality is rather low but I appreciated the human emotion that was put into narrating it. It felt much better than the free AI generated book, or the more expensive human narrated ones that lacked the emotional aspect of reading the text.

The book is pretty good. The narrator sounds like an old hippie which, in my opinion, works well for this book. The sound quality however is very inconsistent and quite bad at times.

Low sound level & awful style of narration. Not even worth keeping as a free book. Horrible!
