"Henry David Thoreau spent over two years in his famous hut at Walden Pond in Massachusetts, 'to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life.' Seven years later, in 1854, Walden appeared, a milestone of American literature. It combined the praise of solitude and self-reflection with close observation of nature. German artist Anne Büssow created woodcuts covering double pages, or confronting the texts in English and German like a vignette, recording nature's work in floral forms. ... 18 woodcuts, partly 2-color and double-page"--Bookseller's description from Edition Schwarze Seite.
