On the 150th anniversary of its publication, a new edition of
the nature classic First published in 1854, Henry David Thoreau's
groundbreaking book has influenced generations of readers and
continues to inspire and inform anyone with an open mind and a love
of nature. With Bill McKibben providing a newly revised
Introduction and helpful annotations that place Thoreau firmly in
his role as cultural and spiritual seer, this beautiful edition of
Walden for the new millennium is more accessible and relevant than
ever. " Thoreau] says so many pithy and brilliant things, and
offers so many piquant, and, we may add, so many just, comments on
society as it is, that this book is well worth the reading, both
for its actual contents and its suggestive capacity." --A. P.
Peabody, North American Review, 1854 " Walden] still seems to me
the best youth's companion yet written by an American, for it
carries a solemn warning against the loss of one's valuables, it
advances a good argument for traveling light and trying new
adventures, it rings with the power of powerful adoration, it
contains religious feeling without religious images, and it
steadfastly refuses to record bad news." --E. B. White, Yale
Review, 1954 "Bill McKibben gives us Thoreau's Walden as the gospel
of the present moment." --Robert D. Richardson, Jr., author of
Henry Thoreau: A Life of the Mind
