Description: Self - described as 'a mystic a transcendentalist and a natural philosopher to boot' Henry David Thoreau dedicated his life to preserving his freedom as a man and as an artist. Nature was the fountainhead of his inspiration and his refuge from what he considered the follies of society. Heedless of his friends advice to live in a more orthodox manner he determinedly pursued his own inner bent - that of a poet - philosopher - in prose and verse in his masterpiece Walden from which this work is taken. Edited by noted Thoreau scholar Jeffrey S. Cramer this edition is the new standard for those interested in discovering the great thinker's influential ideas about everything from environmentalism to limited government.
