Thoreau at Walden | John Porcellino, Center for Cartoon Studies

Pickpick

I‘ve read Thoreau‘s work, but I loved this graphic novel, which gives some highlights from his time at Walden pond. It‘s simple and straightforward and uses language and situations presented in Thoreau‘s actual book. It‘s a great way to sample Thoreau if you are interested, but don‘t want to tackle the original book.

I thought this was an enjoyable companion to Walden. The art style is cozy, and each page masterfully distills the essence of each part of Thoreau‘s book. The quotes and paraphrasing (only when necessary) flowed nicely throughout and felt like a beautiful nod to this work. This book focused mostly on Thoreau‘s nature themes and left out most of his social commentary.

Select passages from Walden accompanied by simple illustrations that respect and elevate his message. This sort-of graphic novel covers why he went to Walden, his understanding of humankind, briefly touches on the beginnings of Civil Disobedience and ends with his return to Concord. An excellent introduction to Thoreau / Walden; enjoyed it so much I‘m considering purchasing it so that I can refer back when I need a little grounding.

I fell down a naturalist rabbit hole today at work & came out better for it.

I‘m sure many of us here can relate to having a particular book change our lives.

For me, it was The Handmaid‘s Tale by Atwood and Development as Freedom by Amartya Sen.

What was you life-changing book? #walden #thoreau

RainyDayReading Not sure about “life changing” exactly, but Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings were immensely significant in my life when I was my younger. 6y
TheBookgeekFrau Way of the Peaceful Warrior got me thinking and living more spiritually and in the moment. Definitely a life changing book for me ☯️ 6y

I had a grand plan to read most of Walden outdoors. I thought it would be fitting.

But then it rained. And rained. And keeps raining! ☔️ 🌧

Instead, I‘m heading to a coffee shop with a fireplace.
😂

On the plus side, our backyard looks incredibly lush and green right now!

saresmoore Our backyard is pretty much a flood. And the wind! It‘s like a hurricane—and I have plenty of hurricane experience. 😳 6y
MelissaSue81 It looks so nice and green! 6y

cherinium I'm hoping to get outside today. The nice days that have popped up over the past couple weeks have all been on days I work. Today, though, is supposed to reach 70 with clouds. I'm taking it. 6y
