A new edition of Henry David Thoreau's 1854 classic work, Walden, a reflection on the simplicity and beauty of a life in nature. Walden recounts Thoreau's experiences over a two year, two month, and two day period in which he lived by himself in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, located in an isolated stretch of woodland outside Concord, Massachusetts. In Walden, Thoreau marries the physical with the transcendent -- intermixing precise scientific observations of the flora and fauna he encounters and changes in the pond itself with poetic and metaphorical musings on nature. A middling success in Thoreau's own life, Walden has proven to be an enduring classic and one of the most celebrated works of 19th century nonfiction literature. "In one book ... [Thoreau] surpasses everything we have had in America." -- Robert FrostHenry David Thoreau (1817-1862) was an American naturalist, essayist, poet, philosopher, and leading figure in the transcendentalist movement.Thoreau is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay "Civil Disobedience."
