About the book

Walden is Thoreau's account of living simply in a cabin by a pond in Massachusetts. It is paired with his essay arguing that individuals should resist unjust government.

From the text

“"I do not propose to write an ode to dejection, but to brag as lustily as chanticleer in the morning, standing on his roost, if only to wake my neighbors up."” Walden and On the Duty of Civil Disobedience · Henry David Thoreau

When I wrote the following pages, or rather the bulk of them, I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor, in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond, in Concord, Massachusetts, and earned my living by the labor of my hands only.

내가 다음 페이지들, 아니 오히려 그 대부분을 썼을 때, 나는 매사추세츠주 콩코드의 월든 호숫가에 내가 직접 지은 집에서 이웃과 1마일 떨어진 숲 속에 홀로 살았고, 오직 내 손으로 일해서 생계를 유지했다.

I lived there two years and two months.

나는 거기서 2년 2개월을 살았습니다.

At present I am a sojourner in civilized life again.

현재 나는 다시 문명 생활 속에서 나그네로 살고 있습니다.

I should not obtrude my affairs so much on the notice of my readers if very particular inquiries had not been made by my townsmen concerning my mode of life, which some would call impertinent, though they do not appear to me at all impertinent, but, considering the circumstances, very natural and pertinent.

만일 내 마을 사람들이 내 생활 방식에 대해 매우 구체적인 질문을 하지 않았더라면 나는 내 사생활을 독자들에게 그렇게까지 드러내지 않았을 것이다. 어떤 이들은 내 생활 방식을 무례하다고 여길지 모르지만, 내게는 전혀 무례하게 보이지 않고, 상황을 고려할 때 매우 자연스럽고 적절하다고 생각한다.

Some have asked what I got to eat; if I did not feel lonesome; if I was not afraid; and the like.

어떤 이들은 내가 무엇을 먹었는지, 외롭지 않았는지, 두렵지 않았는지 등을 물었습니다.

Others have been curious to learn what portion of my income I devoted to charitable purposes; and some, who have large families, how many poor children I maintained.

어떤 이들은 내가 소득의 얼마를 자선 목적으로 사용했는지 알고 싶어 했고, 또 자녀가 많은 이들 중에는 내가 얼마나 많은 가난한 아이들을 부양했는지 알고 싶어 하는 이들도 있었습니다.

I will therefore ask those of my readers who feel no particular interest in me to pardon me if I undertake to answer some of these questions in this book.

그러므로 저에게 특별한 관심을 갖고 있지 않은 독자분들께서는 제가 이 책에서 이러한 질문들 중 일부에 답하고자 하는 것을 너그럽게 이해해 주시길 부탁드립니다.

In most books, the I, or first person, is omitted; in this it will be retained; that, in respect to egotism, is the main difference.

대부분의 책에서는 나, 즉 1인칭이 생략되지만, 이 책에서는 그대로 유지됩니다. 이것이 이기심과 관련하여 가장 큰 차이점입니다.
