Most people, he says are so occupied with the factitious care and toils of life that its finer fruits remain unplucked. So he went to Walden in an attempt to find, in the seemingly simple routines of life stripped to its essentials, the shape beneath what is apparently chaotic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWalden describes Thoreau's domestic economy, the wildlife, the few visitors to his remote wooden hut, and his reflections on the quality of human life in age of growing materialism and of prevailing work ethic. It has become poignant critique of the values of Thoreau's society which retains its relevance and extraordinary power today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eA comprehensive paper edition, with an introduction and chronology of Thoreau's life and times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry David Thoreau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 046087635X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780460876353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Everyman Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e6000 \/ Walden\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Henry David Thoreau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044778143999,"sku":"9780460876353","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd13af29-e875-4813-9007-1d6d1e4bcdf3.jpg?v=1684974835","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/walden-henry-david-thoreau-9780460876353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
