Summary: The best edition of a classic
Comment: The physicality of this edition feels as though Thoreau himself has put it together by hand - from the unusual scrap-book inspired approach to the cover to the reproductions of drawings and notations Thoreau had made in his own copy, it is a complete experience.
Rating: 5
Summary: Suck the marrow from this book!
Comment: Henry David Thoreau gives up his life and most of his posessions and decides to live in a bare necessities cabin in the woods for two years to examine his life. Lucky for us - he brought a pen and paper with him to write it all down! His main focus in this book is to remind you over and over again that the things that you own and the money that you make are not the things in life that define you. He tries to teach us how to seperate ourselves from the hustle and bustle of every day life, stating that the less that we own and the simpler we make our lives, the happier we will be. "Simplify, Simplify, Simplify!"
Everyone I know who has read this book has walked away having learned something. It is a classic. A must have for any book collector - and a must read for EVERYONE!
This edition of the book is simply beautiful, too. Well crafted and binded, it adds the perfect complement to such literary perfection.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Edition
Comment: I am one of those people who has read Walden over and over again over a period of decades, and have owned several editions. This is by far the best I have seen. It is quite helpful in the explanations it provides for some of the more obscure passages, is beautifully put together, and is simply a pleasure to read.
Thoreau was part crank and part visionary, like a crazy uncle. I am glad to have known him through his books. Taken with a grain of salt, his perspectives are refreshing and often illuminating. He helps his readers see there are indeed different ways to look at the world.
