During this experiment in solitary living he had plenty of time to read the classics: 'the noblest recorded thoughts of man'. Over 150 years later, Walden, Thoreau's account of these years, is itself firmly established as a classic work of literature. Together with 700 other titles, it is available in Oxford World's Classics — the series that combines definitive texts with the finest notes and introductions.
