Henry David Thoreau was just a few days short of his twenty-eighth birthday when he built a cabin on the shore of Walden Pond and began one of the most famous experiments in living in American history. Originally he was not  apparently  intending to write a book about his life at the pond  but nine years later  in August of 1854  Houghton Mifflins predecessor  Ticknor and Fields  published Walden; or  aLife in the Woods. At the time the book was largely ignored  and it took five years to sell out the first printing of two thousand copies. It was not until 1862  the year of Thoreaus death  that the book was brought back into print  and it has never been out of print since. Published in hundreds of editions and translated into virtually every modern language  it has become one of the most widely read and influential books ever written. Proceeds from the sales of the book will be donated to the Walden Woods Project.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945794367541,"sku":"ByrdShop_0618457178","price":39.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780618457175.jpg?v=1769911400","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/walden-150th-anniversary-illustrated-edition-of-the-american-classic","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
