First published in 1854, it's part memoir, part meditation on simplicity, self-reliance and our relationship with the natural world. Robert Frost called it a book that \"surpasses everything we have had in America,\" and nearly two centuries on, it still reads as a quiet argument against clutter and noise, material or otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition, from the Arcturus Ornate Classics series, is built to be kept rather than skimmed once and shelved. It's a compact hardback with a gold foil embossed cover, gilded page edges and patterned endpapers, printed on deluxe ivory paper. The pocket-sized format makes it easy to carry on a train, tuck into a coat pocket, or keep on a bedside table for an evening with Thoreau's prose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits anyone building a home library with some weight behind it, as well as readers who already know Walden and want a copy worth returning to. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a reader who values philosophy, nature writing or American literary history, without needing an occasion to justify it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/strong\u003eHenry David Thoreau\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback, gilded pocket edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages: \u003c\/strong\u003e320\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 165 x 105 x 19 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 220 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold foil cover embossing, gilded page edges, patterned endpapers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Arcturus Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46389662843015,"sku":"9781398840300","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/Walden_by_Henry_David_Thoreau.png?v=1793495868","url":"https:\/\/thestraywhisker.com.au\/products\/walden-by-henry-david-thoreau","provider":"The Stray Whisker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
