Linda Jones narrates Henry David Thoreau's classic memoir, "Walden, or, Life in the Woods," with compassion and authenticity. While some of the book's observations may not resonate with contemporary listeners, Jones adds emphasis and a playful tone to Thoreau's budget items and explanation of being a squatter on Ralph Waldo Emerson's farm. The book, first published in 1854, details Thoreau's two-year, two-month, and two-day experience living in a forest near Walden Pond in Massachusetts. Jones delivers the narration with warmth, treating the work as the masterpiece it is, and shines particularly in the chapter titled "Civil Disobedience." [Extracted from the article] |
