内容简介:
By virtue of its casual, off-handedly brilliant wisdom and the easy splendor of its nature writing, Thoreau s account of his adventure in self-reliance on the shores of a pond in Massachusetts is one of the signposts by which the modern mind has located itself in an increasingly bewildering world. Deeply sane, invigorating in its awareness of humanity s place in the moral and natural order, Walden represents the progressive spirit of nineteenth-century America at its eloquent best.
