摘要:亨利·大卫·梭罗的瓦尔登湖是一个安静的书。这本书出版于1854年,它主要描述作者的2年2个月的僻静瓦尔登湖的岸边上,在马萨诸塞州的康科德鼓励人们忽视自己的生活模式和思想。
(“The Bean-field”), Thoreau describes how he hoed and tended two acres of beans. The ninth chapter (“The Village”), depicts Thoreau's distress in visiting town every few days, where people's stares and eager to spread the rumor and where the attractions of pubs, stores, and shops are a allurement. He is always relieved to come back his cabin but worries that society will seek out wherever he goes. In the tenth chapter (“The Ponds”), Thoreau gives detailed descriptions of surrounding ponds, and finds Walden, with its pure clear water, to be the epitome of nature's gift. In the eleventh and twelfth chapter (“Baker Farm” and “Higher Laws”), Thoreau describes a visit to go fishing at Baker Farm and praises vegetarianism and labor.
The thirteenth chapter (“Brute Neighbors”), begins with a dialogue between Hermit, who represents Thoreau's contemplative nature, and Poet, who allures him to give up his contemplations. In the fourteenth chapter (“House-warming”), as the weather gets colder in October and November, he builds a chimney and plasters the inside of his walls. In the fifteenth chapter (“Former Inhabitants and Winter Visitors”), snow prevents Thoreau from venturing out. He instead reflects on the former inhabitants of the woods. In the sixteenth chapter (“Winter Animals”), Thoreau describes looking at the transformed landscape from the centers of lakes and seeing it in a new light and hearing animals, including owls and foxes chased by hounds. In the seventeenth chapter (“The Pond in winter”), Thoreau cuts holes in the ice of Walden, measuring the depth of the pond, which some people have called bottomless. In the eighteenth chapter (“spring”), the lake gradually begins to crack and break apart. The bird flies back and the trees become green. In the last chapter (“Conclusion”), Thoreau explains he left Walden because he had many more lives to live. He urges the readers to turn their inward spiritual world of self-discovery; to find achievement in nature rather than riches; and to face the truth and to come over the difficult in the life. He concludes with the story of a bug which emerged from the wood of a table after sixty years and hopes that people will likewise awaken and emerge into a new life. Thoreau’s “conclusion” is great contrast to the first chapter (“Economy”). “Economy” offered a blueprint about living one's life outside in a confined society, while “Conclusion” offers more spiritual opinion.
Generally speaking, Walden is an excellent book, Thoreau use the first person to narrate his experience on the shore of Walden Pond. It narrative forms a mixture of proverbs, anecdotes and fables, which made the book remarkable and attractive. The author use straightforward expression and picturesque description, in order to demonstrate his concept. The work is in accord with author’s writing purpose.
