”I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, & see if I could not learn what it had to teach, & not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” Inspiring, brilliantly written, cantankerous & funny
- Walden is both a very specific story about one man`s attempt to live the simple life in the wilderness, & the great, founding text both for the environmental movement & the entire counter-culture. This is a new series of twenty distinctive, unforgettable Penguin Classics in a beautiful new design & pocket-sized format, with coloured jackets echoing Penguin`s original covers.
