In »Walden oder Leben in den Wäldern« beschreibt Henry Thoreau sein mehr als zwei Jahre andauerndes Leben abseits der Zivilisation. 1845 baute sich Thoreau eine Blockhütte an einem einsamen Waldsee und lebte dort im Einklang mit der Natur. Sein Bericht über das Selbstexperiment ist zum Klassiker des alternativen Lebens geworden.
