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\u003eThis 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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blatter Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49785902465264,"sku":"9781406775068","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781406775068","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
