Summary

This invaluable anthology captures the intelligence, charm, and wisdom of Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), one of America's greatest thinkers and writers--a giant who influenced the whole world. Editor Alan Jacobs has assembled extracts from Thoreau's public and private writings, his delightfully lyrical poems, and his classic spiritual memoir Waldento fashion what amounts to an impressionistic autobiography, a source of inspiration more needful than ever in these politically, economically, and environmentally challenging times.
