Henry-David Thoreau

This handsome, affordable paperback edition of Walden is the most authoritative version of Thoreau's masterpiece to date. Jeffrey S. Cramer's newly edited text is based on the original 1854 edition of Walden, with emendations taken from Thoreau's draft manuscripts, his own markings on page proofs, and notes in his personal copy of the book. An introduction by Denis Donoghue places Thoreau's life and achievement in context. Also included here are notes on the text, an afterword by the editor, and a helpful selected bibliography.

Walden

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.
