Paperback. Zustand: Good. Henry D. Thoreau's classic A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers is published now as a new paperback edition and includes an introduction by noted writer John McPhee. This work--unusual for its symbolism and structure, its criticism of Christian institutions, and its many-layered storytelling--was Thoreau's first published book. In the late summer of 1839, Thoreau and his older brother John made a two-week boat-and-hiking trip from Concord, Massachusetts, to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. After John's sudden death in 1842, Thoreau began to prepare a memorial account of their excursion. He wrote two drafts of this story at Walden Pond, which he continued to revise and expand until 1849, when he arranged for its publication at his own expense. The book's heterodoxy and apparent formlessness troubled its contemporary audience. Modern readers, however, have come to see it as an appropriate predecessor to Walden, with Thoreau's story of a river journey depicting the early years of his spiritual and artistic growth.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Here, in one volume for the first time, are the most important works of Henry David Thoreau, America's greatest nature writer and a political thinker of worldwide influence.

The Maine Woods combines close observation of the unexplored Maine wilderness with a far-sighted plea for conservation. Including "Civil Disobedience," "Walking," and "Life Without Principle," the 27 essays gathered here reflect Thoreau's speculative and probing cast of mind. In his poems, presented here in versions from his journals and manuscripts, Thoreau gave voice to his private sentiments and spiritual aspirations in the plain style of New England speech.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. America?s greatest nature writer and a political thinker of international renown, Henry David Thoreau crafted essays that reflect his speculative and probing cast of mind. In his poems, he gave voice to his private sentiments and spiritual aspirations in the plain style of New England speech. The Library of America now brings together these indispensable works in one authoritative volume.Spanning his entire career, the twenty-seven essays gathered here chart the range of Thoreau?s interests and the evolution of his thinking, particularly on nature and politics. They vary in style from the ambling rhythm of ?Natural History of Massachusetts? and ?A Winter Walk? to the concentrated moral outrage of ?Slavery in Massachusetts? and ?A Plea for Captain John Brown.? Included are ?Civil Disobedience,? Thoreau?s great exploration of the conflict between individual conscience and state power that continues to influence political thinkers and activists; ?Walking,? a meditation on ?wildness? and civilization; and ?Life Without Principle,? a passionate critique of American materialism and conformity. Also here are literary essays, including pieces on Homer, Chaucer, and Carlyle; the travel essay ?A Yankee in Canada?; speeches in defense of John Brown; and works on natural history written during the last years of Thoreau?s life, such as ?The Succession of Forest Trees,? ?Wild Apples,? and ?Huckleberries.?Many of the poems are presented here in versions based on Thoreau?s journal and manuscripts. Poems he excerpted for A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers and Walden appear in their entirety.
