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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e This is the authoritative text of \u003ci\u003eWalden\u003c\/i\u003e and the ideal presentation of Thoreau's great document of social criticism and dissent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181427409136,"sku":"9781400880799","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781400880799_p0.jpg?v=1763713103","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781400880799","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
