Summary

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.
