Walden Henry David Thoreau Chump Change edition

Unabridged version of Walden, by Henry David Thoreau, offered here for chump change. The noted transcendentalist Thoreau wrote Walden as a reflection upon simple living. It is part personal declaration, part social experiment, and part manual for self-reliance.

Nature was a study for the essayist, naturalist, and environmentalist David Thoreau. He communed from his cabin on Walden Pond, owned by Ralph Waldo Emerson, to "live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and... learn what it had to teach."

Walden is landmark book on self-reliance and simple living.
