    Description

    Early Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding

    An early edition of the landmark work Walden, written by author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau, with an introduction by biographer Will H. Dircks. Published by Walter Scott in 1886, as part of the Camelot Classics, edited by Welsh writer Ernest Rhys. First published in 1854.

    In the publisher's original navy blue cloth.

    Contains original advertisements of Walter Scott works at the end of the book.

    After becoming restless and demotivated as a part of the family business, Thoreau decided to build his own small hut by Walden Pond in Massachusetts. What followed was an incredible period of reflection in which he wrote several fascinating essays. The experience was critical in shaping his beliefs and love of nature.

    Attacking slavery, the work would later gain great influence in the American civil rights movement of the 20th century.
