Thoreau was one of the greatest writers when it came nature. He was known for his keen observations, unaffected by desires for fame or wealth. His philosophy was routed in naturalism and a yearning for freedom in a political environment, which he felt conflicted with the laws of nature.

Thoreau wrote the following text, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, while he was living at Walden Pond. Living in only a cabin with no electricity, Thoreau’s writing displays a disdain for modern society and a yearning for nature and naturalism.
