Walden and Other Writings - Tapa dura

This volume collects several of Thoreau’s most immersive and provocative writings, including “Walden” and “Civil Disobedience.” One of Thoreau’s most diligent ruminations on nature and transcendentalist philosophy, “Walden” recounts the two years the author spent living in a solitary cottage in the woods. In addition to reflecting on the benefits of solitude and self-sufficiency, Thoreau’s experiment also causes him to reflect on a variety of scholarly subjects, including the merits of classical literature. Presented in one convenient volume, these essays provide a fantastic introduction to the life and ideals of Henry David Thoreau.
