Walden
Author: Henry David Thoreau
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 336
Henry David ThoreauÕs account of his adventure in self-reliance on the shores of a pond in MassachusettsÑpart social experiment, part spiritual questÑis an enduringly influential American classic. In 1845, Thoreau began building a cabin at Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts. The inspiring and lyrical book that resulted is both a record of the two years Thoreau spent in withdrawal from society and a declaration of personal independence. By virtue of its casual, offhandedly brilliant wisdom and the easy splendor of its nature writing, ThoreauÕs account of his immersion in solitude has become a signpost for the modern mind in an increasingly bewildering world. Also included in this edition is ThoreauÕs famous essay, ÒCivil Disobedience,Ó inspired by his anti-war and anti-slavery sentiments, which has influenced nonviolent resistance movements around the world ever since.
