One of the most influential and compelling books in American
literature, Walden is a vivid account of the years that Henry D.
Thoreau spent alone in a secluded cabin at Walden Pond. This
edition--introduced by noted American writer John
Updike--celebrates the perennial importance of a classic work,
originally published in 1854. Much of Walden's material is derived
from Thoreau's journals and contains such engaging pieces from the
lively "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For" and "Brute Neighbors"
to the serene "Reading" and "The Pond in the Winter." Other famous
sections involve Thoreau's visits with a Canadian woodcutter and
with an Irish family, a trip to Concord, and a description of his
bean field. This is the complete and authoritative text of
Walden--as close to Thoreau's original intention as all available
evidence allows. This is the authoritative text of Walden and the
ideal presentation of Thoreau's great document of social criticism
and dissent.
