Walden: Or Life in the Woods by: Thoreau, Henry David, Illust. by: Nason, Thomas W.

Leather covers with gilt engravings are clean and bright, as are interior pages. All edges gilt. Binding is solid. Contains B&W illustrations throughout. At Walden Pond, Henry David Thoreau reflected on simpler living in the natural world. By removing himself from the distractions of materialism, Thoreau hoped to not only improve his spiritual life but also gain a better understanding of society through solitary introspection. In Walden, Thoreau condenses his two-year, two-month, two-day stay into a single year, using the four seasons to symbolize human development--a cycle of life shared by both nature and man. Previous owner's paste-in bookplate is present on the front end page, otherwise clean copy. Record # 34229
