description: “I love to see that Nature is so rife with life that myriads can be afforded to be sacrificed and suffered to prey on one another; that tender organizations can be so serenely squashed out of existence like pulp, — tadpoles which herons gobble up, and tortoises and toads run over in the road; and that sometimes it has rained flesh and blood! With the liability to accident, we must see how little account is to be made of it.”  This edition of Walden includes:  • Notes  • 25 photogravures from 1897 edition  • Appendix: Extracts from Robert Louis Stevenson’s Familiar Studies of Men and Books
