Description
Walden is Henry David Thoreau's account of his experiment in solitary living, where he built a rough hut a mile and a half away from his home town of Concord, Massachusetts. In 1845, Thoreau left behind the conventions of hard work and wealth to live in harmony with nature. This new edition of Walden explores the sources of Thoreau's reading and thinking, placing him within the context of his birthplace and its history - social, economic, and natural. An ecological appendix provides modern identifications of the plants and animals that Thoreau observed during his time by Walden Pond. Oxford World's Classics has made this volume available, providing an accurate text with expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study.
