Book Synopsis: A beautiful illustrated edition of Thoreau’s classic treatise on man and nature. “Our life is frittered away by detail. . . . Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!” Henry David Thoreau built his small cabin on the shore of Walden Pond in 1845.

In a world obsessed with technology and luxury, this American classic about seeking “the essential facts of life” seems more relevant today than ever.
