Description: Henry David Thoreau's masterwork, Walden, is a collection of his Reflections on life and Society. In 1845, he moved to a cabin that he built with his own hands alongside the shores of Walden Pond in Massachusetts. Shedding the trivial ties that he felt much of humidity condemned themselves to, Thoreau reaped from the land both physically and mentally. Unlike others, who finally accepted the controversial ways of civilization, he pursued truth, not in newspapers or businesses, but in the quiet of nature, the Simplicity of animals, and art from the likes of Homer. In Walden, he explains how separating from the world of men can truly awaken the sleeping self. Thoreau holds fast the notion that you have not truly existed until you adopt such a lifestyle and only men can you reenter Society, as he did, and enlightened being. The simple but it's profound musings as well as "Civil Disobedience," his protest against the government interference with civil liberty have inspired many to embrace his philosophy of individualism in love of nature. 150 years later, his message is more timely than ever. Paperback book. In good shape. No missing or torn pages. There is some writing on the back side of the cover.
