reorganized the entire world into capitalism, is the United States.\u003cbr\u003e However, in the early days of capitalism in the United States in the mid-to-late 1800s, there was already a warning that pierced through the dangers of 'humans subordinated to capital' and 'civilization destroying nature': Henry David Thoreau's 'Walden'.\u003cbr\u003e While everyone praised the magical productivity of the Industrial Revolution, this is a truly pioneering book that sees the lives of individuals buried in lifelong debt and confronts the screams of nature being destroyed in the name of progress. \u003cbr\u003eIn addition, it is a wonderful, literary essay with sentences that delicately capture the tranquil scenery of Walden Pond and ethereal meditations drawn from deep solitude.\u003cbr\u003e Let's take a look at the first edition of \"Walden\" presented by The Story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Walden is the story of Thoreau living alone as a self-sufficient 'natural man' in a cabin by Walden Pond for about two years.\u003cbr\u003e The diary, which was originally intended to be published as soon as he left the cabin, was postponed due to concerns about poor sales, and was later refined into an essay titled 'Four Seasons at Walden Pond (One Year),' which resulted in a higher literary quality.\u003cbr\u003e But above all, what is remarkable about Walden is that it admonishes a society that encourages people to “be frugal and hard-working to become wealthy!” by admonishing them to “own less and work less!” and to work only six weeks a year and enjoy the joy of contemplation in nature during the rest of the time. \u003cbr\u003eA full 170 years ago, an experiment was conducted that coincided with the breakthroughs (YOLO, returning to the countryside, etc.) being attempted by modern people weary of neoliberalism and unchecked development! Because of this groundbreaking nature, Walden remained overlooked for over 100 years after Thoreau's death. However, as human values ​​trampled by industry were re-examined and introspection about the crisis facing humanity and the planet arose, it gained recognition as \"the greatest masterpiece of American literature.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePreview\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003eindex\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e Economics of Life\u003cbr\u003e Where and for what did I live?\u003cbr\u003e reading\u003cbr\u003e sounds\u003cbr\u003e solitude\u003cbr\u003e visitors\u003cbr\u003e soybean field\u003cbr\u003e village\u003cbr\u003e lakes\u003cbr\u003e Baker Farm\u003cbr\u003e Higher Law\u003cbr\u003e Animal Friends\u003cbr\u003e heating\u003cbr\u003e Former residents and winter visitors\u003cbr\u003e Winter animals\u003cbr\u003e Lake in winter\u003cbr\u003e spring\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Commentary on the work\u003cbr\u003e Henry David Thoreau Chronology\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003eInto the book\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cdiv\u003eWhat I'm about to tell you is about your current situation, especially your external circumstances and circumstances in this world and this town, why they are so bad, and whether there is any room for improvement.\u003cbr\u003e (…) Some people are so poor that they struggle to make ends meet.\u003cbr\u003e I'm trying to somehow find a job and get out of debt, but the debt is always reaching its limit.\u003cbr\u003e Always promising, 'I'll pay you back tomorrow, I'll definitely pay you back tomorrow,' but today I die broke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"The Economics of Life\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is entirely possible to build a home that is much more convenient and luxurious than the one you live in now.\u003cbr\u003e But you have to admit that you don't have the capacity to do that right now.\u003cbr\u003e Why do we always strive for more, but never learn to be content with less?\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"The Economics of Life\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eI went into the forest as I intended, to live facing only the essence of life.\u003cbr\u003e I wanted to know if I could learn everything there was to learn in life, and if, when death came, I would know that I had not lived in vain.\u003cbr\u003e Life is so precious that I wouldn't want to live if it weren't for life.\u003cbr\u003e I didn't want to live in resignation unless it was absolutely necessary.\u003cbr\u003e I wanted to destroy everything that was not life and live resiliently like a Spartan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"Where and For What Did I Live\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Let's live simply, simply, simply!
