Walden

Walden, or Life in the Woods, records Henry David Thoreau’s experiment in simple living beside Walden Pond, near Concord, Massachusetts. Compressed into the round of a single year, it is at once a personal declaration of independence, a critique of the marketplace, and a manual of attention to woods, water and the self. Few American books have so stubbornly invited their reader’s to reconsider what is necessary.

This special edition has been created with accessibility in mind. It features a fully adjustable coloured overlay system designed to support readers with Irlen Syndrome, dyslexia, or visual stress. By reducing visual strain and allowing each reader to customise their experience, this edition makes Henry David Thoreau’s contemplative narrative more comfortable and enjoyable to read.

Rediscover the deliberate living and woodland attention of Walden in a format thoughtfully crafted to be more inclusive for all readers.
