Description

To coincide with the bicentennial of Thoreau’s birth and TarcherPerigee’s publication of Expect Great Things: The Lifetime of Henry David Thoreau, here’s a luxurious rediscovery edition of the primary illustrated volume of Thoreau’s classic, as in the beginning issued in 1897.

In 1897, thirty-five years after Thoreau’s death, Houghton Mifflin issued a two-volume “Holiday Edition” of Walden illustrated with thirty outstanding engravings, daguerreotypes, and period photographs. In 1902 the publisher collected the work into a single volume. Now, to mark the bicentennial of Thoreau’s birth in 1817, this undying landmark is reproduced with the entire original illustrations and all the text of his mystical, practical, magisterial record of a life within the woods.
