Purple Picture Classic Library: Walden Pond (general Education Illustrated Edition)
by (u. S.) Henry David Thoreau
About This Novel
This book is a minimalist record of Thoreau's life when he lived alone by Walden Pond. It depicts the natural scenery of Walden Pond with beautiful brushstrokes. It records what the author saw, heard and thought over more than two years, and expresses his profound thinking about man and nature, society and life. Since its first publication in 1854, "Walden" has broken the limitations of time and space and continued to influence the world. In the field of literature, it created and triggered the writing trend of natural literature. In the field of philosophy, Thoreau and Emerson are urged to be regarded as the two giants of transcendentalism. It also directly gave birth to the idea of environmental protection and is the true origin of the contemporary minimalist aesthetics and lifestyle that are in the ascendant. The general illustrated edition contains a large number of fine illustrations, intuitively presenting Thoreau's philosophical thoughts, allusions in the text and related natural history knowledge, and pioneeringly provides a set of "knowledge encyclopedia" that is essential for understanding "Walden".
