### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Classic American writing.
  

*by D***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 29, 2017*

I have been reading a hard cover edition of this great book for many years, over and over. It is a collection of some of Thoreau's best work. I left my hard copy in the mid-west by accident, so I just ordered up this one and already have broken the binding.  I have been reading Thoreaus so long I do not remember if he had a great impact on my life or if he just speaks to already existing values. Either way, I believe he was one of our three greatest 19th century writers, along with Twain and Lincoln.

    Critical and Representative Collection of Thoreau's Works
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 28, 2013*

This 700 page compendium of Thoreau's works contains a couple "must haves", in "Walden" and "Civil Disobedience".  These two works by Thoreau have stood the test of time with their readability, influence and insight into the man and his philosophies.  The other works in the book, including excerpts from his Journals, "A Yankee in Canada", "Walking" and his poetry provide the reader with the breadth and intricate detail in Thoreau's writing style - especially as it pertained to his interactions with Nature.  The brilliance of his descriptions bring the images to life, and allow the reader insights into a Massachusetts countryside of 175 years ago as if it were yesterday.  The message is beautiful, timeless, and vivid. If you have never been exposed to Thoreau, the writings here are the critical introduction, and the editor's commentaries are excellent background and insights.  A good addition to your reading list.

    Love for Thoreau
  

*by N***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 10, 2014*

I read Walden as a kid in the seventies, and it has instilled in me a streak of hippie that I cherish. As I get older and reread his works, I understand how much his ideas are a part of our American identity. He would be very comfortable in today's libertarian political environment, I think, with his "that government is best which governs least" beliefs. His love of nature is inspiring, and his faith in the power of determination has either empowered me or made me insufferable, depending on where you stand. I love Emerson, too, but Thoreau speaks to me.
