Features: Walden is a timeless masterpiece by the American prose master and philosopher Thoreau (1817-1867). In a selection by the Library of Congress, it was ranked alongside the Bible as one of the "25 Most Influential Classics That Shape Readers' Lives." The book records the author's experience of living in seclusion at Walden Pond, embracing nature, and finding the poetry of the earth and reshaping himself in a self-sufficient pastoral life. In this increasingly damaged global village, the book can evoke our distant memories of many beautiful things and emotions, like a gushing spring in the desert, nourishing our wounded souls.
