{"product_id":"9780691169347","title":"Walden : 150th Anniversary Edition by Henry David Thoreau","description":"One of the most influential and compelling books in American literature, Walden is a vivid account of the years that Henry D. Thoreau spent alone in a secluded cabin at Walden Pond. This edition--introduced by noted American writer John Updike--celebrates the perennial importance of a classic work, originally published in 1854. Much of Walden's material is derived from Thoreau's journals and contains such engaging pieces from the lively \"Where I Lived, and What I Lived For\" and \"Brute Neighbors\" to the serene \"Reading\" and \"The Pond in the Winter.\" Other famous sections involve Thoreau's visits with a Canadian woodcutter and with an Irish family, a trip to Concord, and a description of his bean field. This is the complete and authoritative text of Walden--as close to Thoreau's original intention as all available evidence allows. This is the authoritative text of Walden and the ideal presentation of Thoreau's great document of social criticism and dissent.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294537757045,"sku":"9780691169347","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780691169347.jpg?v=1762764686","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780691169347","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
