Walden: 150th Anniversary Edition -- Henry David Thoreau

<p>One of the most influential and compelling books in American literature, <i>Walden</i> 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. <p/> This is the authoritative text of <i>Walden</i> and the ideal presentation of Thoreau's great document of social criticism and dissent.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Henry David Thoreau<br><b>Publisher:</b> Princeton University Press<br><b>Published:</b> 03/22/2016<br><b>Pages:</b> 376<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.00lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.10d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780691169347<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 8.7<br><b>Point Value:</b> 21<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>6000 / Walden<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Henry D.
