"Уолден: Полностью комментированное издание" Генри Дэвида Торо (издание на английском языке).
This is the authoritative edition of an American literary classic: Henry David Thoreau’s Walden, an elegantly written record of his experiment in simple living. This edition meticulously corrects errors and omissions from previous editions of Walden and here provides illuminating notes on the biographical, historical, and geographical contexts of the great nineteenth-century writer and thinker's life.
This newly edited text is based on the original 1854 edition of Walden, with emendations taken from Thoreau’s draft manuscripts, his own markings on the page proofs, and notes in his personal copy of the book. The editor’s notes quote from sources Thoreau read, showing how he used, interpreted, and altered these sources. References to Thoreau’s essays, journals, and correspondence are glossed. With the wealth of material in this edition, readers will find an unprecedented opportunity to immerse themselves in the unique and fascinating world of Thoreau.
