The quintessential back-to-nature book, Walden is an account of Thoreau's attempt to find a spiritual awakening by returning to a simple life in the Massachusetts woodlands. Thoreau's rejection of the values of the then-burgeoning Industrial Revolution still reverberates for contemporary readers. His quest for something deeper and more meaningful than materialism created a work that gave form to some of man's deepest yearnings. Walden, or Life in the Woods, is an attempt to awaken the "sleepers" of society to the potential for greatness within each of them. Written with poetry and fire, it remains one of literature's greatest road maps to the divine.

This edition was difficult to read as it was not clear where each essay started. It was an old yellowed book with small print and made the stories look unattractive. Only by perseverence would you read this copy. It should have been joyful, as it is a great piece of writing. Buy Walden as a book by itself, not as a compilation.
