About the Book: Walden
In 1845, the American Transcendentalist philosopher Henry David Thoreau went to
live in the woods near his hometown of Concord, Massachusetts. For over two
years he resided there largely in solitary, in a small cabin built by his own
hands. Walden is his personal account of this time, in which he documents both
his passion for the landscape and wildlife of Walden Pond, and his philosophical
and political motivations for rejecting the materialism which continues to
define not only America, but much of the modern world. With An Introduction By
Benjamin Markovits.
