"In one book . he surpasses everything we have had in America" - Robert Frost

This beautiful gilded hardback pocket edition presents the incredible memoir of Henry David Thoreau - a man who left his home town to live a contemplative life in the tranquil wilderness of Walden Pond. During his two years there, he diligently chronicled his observations.

Walden blends natural history with philosophy, taking an insightful look at human solitude and our affinity with the natural world. In its rejection of materialism and embracing of self-sufficiency, this book remains a highly regarded work of transcendentalism, environmentalism, and individual enlightenment.

Despite being published over 150 years ago, Walden remains pertinent in the modern society. This collector's edition features gilded page edges, gold cover embossing and patterned endpapers, refreshing this defining work of American liberalism.
