Publisher's Synopsis

""Walking"" is a collection of essays by Henry David Thoreau, first published in 1862. The book is a reflection on the joys of walking and the importance of nature in our lives. Thoreau believes that walking is not just a physical activity, but a spiritual one as well. He encourages readers to take time to explore the natural world and to find inspiration in its beauty. Throughout the book, Thoreau shares his own experiences with walking and his observations of nature. He also discusses the relationship between humans and the environment, and the impact that modern society has had on our connection to nature. ""Walking"" is a timeless classic that continues to inspire readers to appreciate the natural world and to seek out the simple pleasures in life.Nowadays almost all man's improvements, so called, as the building of houses and the cutting down of the forest and of all large trees, simply deform the landscape, and make it more and more tame and cheap.
