Walden by Henry David Thoreau

One of the most influential books in early American literature, Thoreau's classic study of life and nature is presented in a beautiful collector's edition, with an afterword from Sam Gilpin.
Henry David Thoreau was born in Concord, Massachusetts, in 1817, and attended Concord Academy and Harvard. After a short time spent as a teacher, he worked as a surveyor and a handyman, sometimes employed by Ralph Waldo Emerson. From 1845-1847 Thoreau lived in a house he had made himself on Emerson's property near Walden Pond. During this period he completed A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers and wrote the first draft of Walden, the book considered his masterpiece. Thoreau died of tuberculosis in 1862, and much of his writing was published posthumously.
