Author/Contributor(s): Thoreau, Henry David; Klinkenborg, Verlyn Publisher: Everyman's Library Date: 1/11/1993 Binding: Hardcover Condition: NEW By virtue of its casual, off-handed ly brilliant wisdom and the easy splendor of its nature writing, Thoreau’s account of his adventure in self-reliance on the shores of a pond in Massachusetts is one of the signposts by which the modern mind has located itself in an increasingly bewildering world. Deeply sane, invigorating in its awareness of humanity’s place in the moral and natural order, Walden represents the progressive spirit of nineteenth-century America at its eloquent best. Show more
