Henry David Thoreau's account of his adventure in self-reliance on the shores of a pond in Massachusetts--part social experiment, part spiritual quest--is 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, Thoreau's 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 Thoreau's famous essay, "Civil Disobedience," inspired by his anti-war and anti-slavery sentiments, which has influenced nonviolent resistance movements around the world ever since.Languages:EnglishPublisher:VintageISBN-13:9780804171564ISBN-10:804171564UPC:9780804171564Book Category:Nature, Political Science, Biography & AutobiographyBook Subcategory:Essays, Environmentalists & NaturalistsSize:8.23 x 5.21 x 0.73 inchesWeight:0.58Product ID:SCZHX8AJ4V
