Product Details
Series: Penguin Great Ideas
Paperback: 112 pages
Publisher: Penguin Books; Later Printing Used edition (May 30, 2006)
The other reviewer is right that this book contains limited material from Walden. But that's precisely what makes it so useful. If you're interested in the full Walden experiment, with lengthy narratives on bird-watching and ditch-digging and any number of other things, by all means read Walden. However, for those who are simply interested in the philosophy of simple living and want to read shorter essays that get at the heart of it, this is an excellent selection. I fully recommend it.

I should have been more thorough about my research, but I thought I was purchasing WALDEN, in its entirety. As it turns out, this is an edited down copy of the first chapter of Walden. Why would anyone by a book in print - by the chapter?!?!
