This graphic novel, narrated in Thoreau's own words, weaves together elements from "Walden", "Civil disobedience", "Walking", and Thoreau's journals to tell the story of his two years in the woods and of the night he spent in jail for refusing to pay a poll tax.
In this graphic masterpiece, John Porcellino uses only the words of Henry David Thoreau to tell the story of the two years he spent on Walden Pond. The pared-down text focuses on Thoreau's most profound ideas, and Porcellino's fresh, simple pictures capture the essence of the philosopher's writings.
For readears who know Walden intimately, this graphic treatment will provide a new interpretation of Thoreau's story. For those who have never read the original, Thoreau at Walden presents a contemporary look at his call to slow down in a ever-accelerating world.
