Pagera Editor's Note
Walden, published in 1854, is Henry David Thoreau's account of the two years and two months he spent in a cabin he built beside Walden Pond, near Concord, Massachusetts. Its eighteen chapters, from Economy and Where I Lived, and What I Lived For to The Ponds, Winter Animals and Spring, mix practical detail about building, bean farming and household costs with reflections on simplicity, solitude, reading and the turning seasons. This volume also includes On the Duty of Civil Disobedience, first published in 1849, in which Thoreau argues that individuals should refuse to support an unjust government, written after he was jailed for not paying his poll tax.
