”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.

He stayed for over two years, living self-sufficiently in a small cabin built with his own hands. Walden is his personal account of the experience, in which he documents the beauty & fulfilment to be found in the wilderness, & his philosophical & political motivations for rejecting the materialism which continues to define our modern world. ...

Henry David Thoreau, along with Poe, Emerson, Whitman, & Hawthorne, is considered one of the leading figures in early American literature. & Walden is without a doubt his most enduring work. A philosophical meditation on man, society, & nature that has influenced generations of readers, it was inspired by Thoreau`s attempt to live in solitude on Walden Pond, near Concord, Massachusetts.
