About the book
A narrative biography by Michael Sims about the adventurous life of American transcendentalist thinker Henry David Thoreau, beyond his famous experience at Walden Pond. Sims reveals a Thoreau far more of a traveler, questioner, and engaged figure than the stereotypical image of the hermit, capturing his personal struggles, influences, and paradoxical legacy for American environmental and political thought.
