Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we
see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution.
They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and
destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals
and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
Thoreau's account of his solitary and self-sufficient home in the New England woods
remains an inspiration to the environmental movement - a call to his fellow men to abandon
their striving, materialistic existences of 'quiet desperation' for a simple life within
their means, finding spiritual truth through awareness of the sheer beauty of their
surroundings.
Henry David Thoreau (1817-62) was born in Concord Massachusetts and
educated at Harvard. He became a follower and a friend of Emerson, and described himself
as a mystic and a transcendentalist. Although he published only two books in his lifetime,
Walden is regarded as a literary masterpeice and one of the most significant books of the
19th century.
