Penguin Illustrated Classic C4. 1st Edition, 1938.
In 1845 Thoreau, a Harvard-educated 28-year-old, went to live by himself in the woods in Massachusetts. He stayed for over two years, living self-sufficiently in a small cabin built with his own hands. Walden is his personal account of the experience, in which he documents the beauty and fulfilment to be found in the wilderness, and his philosophical and political motivations for rejecting the materialism which continues to define our modern world.
Condition grading: Very Good. Some wear to spine ends and edges. Light foxing and a few very light creases to front cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
