书籍简介

亨利-戴维-梭罗被认为是美国早期文学的领军人物之一，而《瓦尔登》无疑是他具影响力的书。

麦克米伦收藏家图书馆旨在吸引图书爱好者，是一系列深受喜爱的经典书籍的精美礼品版。麦克米伦收藏家图书馆是值得喜爱和珍惜的书籍。

该书叙述了作者在马萨诸塞州康科德附近瓦尔登湖周围树林中的一座小房子里的生活经历。梭罗在几个朋友的帮助下，自己建造了这所房子，想看看自己是否能 "刻意 "生活--独立于社会之外。其结果是一部引人入胜的作品，它融合了自然历史和哲学见解，并包括许多来自其他作家的启发性引文。梭罗的木屋在美国人的集体心理中赢得了一席之地，对于一本开始时如此简陋和质朴的书来说，这是一个了不起的成就。

Henry David Thoreau is considered one of the leading figures in early American literature, and Walden is without doubt his most influential book.

Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

It recounts the author's experiences living in a small house in the woods around Walden Pond near Concord in Massachusetts. Thoreau constructed the house himself, with the help of a few friends, to see if he could live 'deliberately' - independently and apart from society. The result is an intriguing work which blends natural history with philosophical insights, and includes many illuminating quotations from other authors. Thoreau's wooden shack has won a place for itself in the collective American psyche, a remarkable achievement for a book with such modest and rustic beginnings.

作者简介

亨利-戴维-梭罗于1817年出生于马萨诸塞州的康科德，并在康科德学院和哈佛大学上学。在当了一段时间的教师后，他做过测量员和杂工，有时受雇于拉尔夫-瓦尔多-爱默生。1845-1847年，梭罗住在瓦尔登湖附近爱默生的地产上他自己建造的房子里。在此期间，他完成了《康科德河和梅里马克河上的一周》，并撰写了《瓦尔登》的初稿，这本书被普遍认为是他的代表作。他于1862年死于肺结核，他的大部分作品都在死后出版。

Henry David Thoreau was born in Concord, Massachusetts, in 1817, and attended Concord Academy and Harvard. After a short time spent as a teacher, he worked as a surveyor and a handyman, sometimes employed by Ralph Waldo Emerson. From 1845-1847 Thoreau lived in a house he had made himself on Emerson's property near Walden Pond. During this period he completed A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers and wrote the first draft of Walden, the book that is generally judged to be his masterpiece. He died of tuberculosis in 1862, and much of his writing was published posthumously.
