Henry Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau's classic book with ample space and ruled lines for readers to record their thoughts right alongside the text. "The Journal Edition" encourages readers to not just passively read what Thoreau wrote, but to actively engage with his ideas, to respond to his worldview, and to internalize his life-changing message. This volume is not only a book. It is a tool to study one of the great works of American literature. Our hope is that it will lead you to new insights, to new ways of looking at the world, and to a determination to, like Thoreau, live deliberately, whatever that may mean for you.

Walden (the Journal Edition)

Karissa Regaliza 

Even though there are negative aspects to it, the wild psyche can endure exile. It makes us yearn that much more to free our own true nature and causes us to long fora culture to match. Even this yearming, this longing makes a person go on. It makes a woman go on looking, and if she cannot find the cuiture that encourages her, then she usually decides to construct it herself. And that is good, for if she builds it, others who have been looking for a long time will mysteriously arrive one day enthusiastically proclaiming that they have been looking for this all along.
