Walking

Walking is an essay by Henry David Thoreau based on a lecture originally delivered at the Concord Lyceum on April 23 1851. Within it Thoreau carefully explores the important relationship between nature and mankind. Thoreau considered it to be one of his best works and repeatedly rewrote it during the 1850s. This volume will appeal to fans of Transcendental literature and it would make for a wonderful addition to any collection.
