The book: Scarce 1902 Houghton, Mifflin and Company complete edition in one volume of Walden with the photogravures in a scarce illustrated binding variant -- Walden is a book by noted transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau. The text is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is a part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, a voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and (to some degree) manual for self-reliance.

In 1897 the publisher issued a Holiday Edition of Walden in two volumes, illustrated with photogravures. The present Edition is a reissue of that of 1897, with only such changes as were necessary to bring the whole work into a single convenient volume. A rare find in any condition!

The author: Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862) was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian. A leading transcendentalist, Thoreau is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay "Civil Disobedience" (originally published as "Resistance to Civil Government"), an argument for disobedience to an unjust state.
