Published to coincide with the 150th edition of the first publication of the book, a new edition of the classic text retains all the wisdom and power of the original memoir of an experiment in simplicity conducted on the shores of Massachusetts pond in the 1840s.
Published in association with the Walden Woods Project, this beautiful commemorative edition of Thoreau's masterpiece features spectacular color photographs that capture Walden as vividly as Thoreau's words do. Henry David Thoreau was just a few days short of his twenty-eighth birthday when he built a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond and began one of the most famous experiments in living in American history. Originally he was not, apparently, intending to write a book about his life at the pond, but nine years later, in August of 1854, Houghton Mifflin's predecessor, Ticknor and Fields, published Walden; or, aLife in the Woods. At the time the book was largely ignored, and it took five years to sell out the first printing of two thousand copies. It was not until 1862, the year of Thoreau's death, that the book was brought back into print, and it has never been out of print since. Published in hundreds of editions and translated into virtually every modern language, it has become one of the most widely read and influential books ever written.
Presents Thoreau's reflections on his experiences living alone in the woods surrounding Walden Pond and his philosophy concerning humankind's need to reevaluate life and commune with nature.
