Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Dj. Book 12 mo, hardcover, VG in gray boards.769 pp. This Harvard graduate retreated to a pond in Massachusetts to contemplate nature and live simply and examine the state of things which he disagreed with such as Mr. Polk's war, slavery and other political issues. He refused to pay taxes to support these institutions and was thrown in jail.
This edition was difficult to read as it was not clear where each essay started. It was an old yellowed book with small print and made the stories look unattractive. Only by perseverence would you read this copy. It should have been joyful, as it is a great piece of writing. Buy Walden as a book by itself, not as a compilation.
