Walden : Or life in the woods / With an introduction by Benjamin Markovits - This edition published in 2017. - London : Vintage , 1854 - 295 pages : 20 cm
In 1845 Henry David Thoreau, one of the principal New England Transcendentalists, left the town for the country. Beside the lake of Walden, he built himself a log cabin and returned to nature, to observe and reflect while surviving on eight dollars a year. From this experience emerged one of the great classics of American literature, a deeply personal reaction against the commercialism and materialism that he saw as the main impulses of mid-19th century America.
