Description: Franklin Library leather edition of Henry David Thoreau's "Walden, or Life in the Woods," a Limited edition, illustrated by Ron Keller, one of the 100 GREATEST BOOKS OF ALL TIME series, published in 1976.

Henry David Thoreau, who lived from 1817-1862, was born in CONCORD, Massachusetts, graduated from HARVARD in 1837, and later taught school. Thoreau built himself a hut where he lived from July 4, 1845, to Sept. 1847. Thoreau once spent the night in the Concord jail because he refused to pay taxes! First published in 1854, "Walden" details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near WALDEN POND, amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor RALPH WALDO EMERSON. The book compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development. By immersing himself in nature, Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective understanding of society through personal introspection. Simple living and self-sufficiency were Thoreau's other goals, and the whole project was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy. Thoreau wanted to live in harmony with nature. 335 pages.
