Walden

by Henry David Thoreau
Compare to estimated retail price: RM95.00 MYR  

The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!

The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.

Walden
Walden

Solitude and nature meet philosophical reflection.

If you're someone who finds peace and wisdom in the simplicity of nature, "Walden" might resonate deeply with you. Thoreau's experiment in self-reliance and minimalist living isn't just an escape story; it's a meditation on society, materialism, and the essence of personal fulfillment. His eloquent prose is as refreshing as a walk in the woods, offering a perspective that could inspire you to reconsider what really matters in life.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Henry David Thoreau is considered, along with Edgar Allan Poe, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, to be one of the leading figures in early American literature, and Walden is without doubt his most influential book. It recounts the author’s experiences living in a small house in the woods around Walden Pond near Concord in Massachusetts. Thoreau constructed the house himself, with the help of a few friends, and one reason he moved into it was to see if he could live independently and away from society. The result is an intriguing work that blends natural history with philosophical insight and includes many illuminating quotations from other authors. Thoreau’s wooden shack has won a place for itself in the collective American psyche, a remarkable achievement for a book with such modest and rustic beginnings. Designed to appeal to book lovers, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound gift editions of much-loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth, printed on high-quality paper, and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges, Macmillan Collector's Library titles are books to love and treasure.
