Brief Description:
This Ixia Press edition, first published in 2019, is an unabridged republication of a standard text. The author presented an earlier version of the work as a lecture in April 1851, and 'Walking' was published as an essay in The Atlantic Monthly in June 1862.

Biographical Note:
Henry David Thoreau (1817-62) was an essayist, poet, and philosopher as well as one of America's foremost nature writers. He lived most of his life in Concord, Massachusetts, and was a close friend and protégé of Transcendentalist philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. Walden, a meditation on life in the woods, and Civil Disobedience, a polemic advocating dissent from unjust government, are his best-known works.

Brief Description:
"This Dover edition, first published in 2019, is an unabridged republication of a standard text. The author presented an earlier version of the work as a lecture in April 1851, and 'Walking' was published as an essay in The Atlantic Monthly in June 1862"--Title page verso.

Publisher Marketing:
"For I believe that climate does thus react on man -- as there is something in the mountain air that feeds the spirit and inspires."
Henry David Thoreau's Walking began as a lecture in 1851 and ultimately appeared in The Atlantic Monthly in 1862, shortly after the author's death. The impassioned essay, which praises the merits of time spent in nature, has become one of the most influential works of the modern environmentalist movement. Thoreau's view of walking in nature as a self-reflective activity invites readers to embark on their own ramble in order to gain a "wild and dusky" self-knowledge unattainable elsewhere.
Americans felt the pressures of a changing world even in the relatively slow-paced 1800s, and Thoreau proposed balancing social stress with unhurried wanderings in fields and woods. His writings, from Civil Disobedience to Walden, remain popular because of their enduring relevance, and Walking bears a special resonance for modern readers who may have become disconnected from the natural world.
