{"product_id":"9781988357225","title":"Walden - Life In The Woods: School, College and Seniors Edition","description":"Walden (first published as Walden; or, Life in the Woods), by noted transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau, is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and (to some degree) manual for self-reliance. Thoreau also used this time to write his first book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers.\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1854, Walden details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts. The book compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DIAMOND PUBLISHERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040907182320,"sku":"9781988357225","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781988357225_p0.jpg?v=1763673503","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781988357225","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
