Through contemplating nature, Thoreau aspired to "lead a fresh, simple life with God." In 1848 a seeker named Harrison Blake, yearning for a spiritual life of his own, asked the then-fledgling writer for guidance. The fifty letters that ensued, collected here for the first time in their own volume by Thoreau specialist Bradley P. Dean, are by turns earnest, oracular, witty, playful, practical, insightful and inspiring. -- From publisher description.

Thoreau was often observed on meditative walks along the shores of Cape Cod. Captured by Emerson's spirit of transcendentalism and self-reliance, Thoreau--at the encouragement of Emerson himself--undertook a two year adventure at Walden Pond that transformed American culture. His essay on Civil disobedience came to weigh on two of the world's greatest leaders, Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
