Description

Henry David Thoreau's Journal is a remarkable work of prose that explores the everyday environment, the revolving seasons, and the changing self. Spanning nearly a quarter of a century, this extensive journal is a treasure trove of some of the finest writing in English.

With over two million words and 704 pages, this reader's edition is the largest one-volume edition of Thoreau's Journal ever published. It offers a comprehensive view of the work, capturing its scope, rhythms, and variety. The Journal is a deeply personal and introspective work, yet it also ranges freely over the world at large.

Thoreau's writing is characterized by its lyricism and insight, and this edition provides a unique opportunity to engage with his thoughts and reflections in a single, accessible volume.
