In this graphic masterpiece, John Porcellino uses only the words of Thoreau himself to tell the story of those two years off the beaten track. The pared-down text focuses on Thoreau's most profound ideas, and Porcellino's fresh, simple pictures bring the philosopher's sojourn at Walden to cinematic life. For readers who know Walden intimately, this graphic treatment will provide a vivid new interpretation of Thoreau's story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor those who have never read (or never completed!) the original, it presents a contemporary look at a few brave words to live by.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Porcellino\u003c\/b\u003e has been writing, drawing, and publishing minicomics, comics, and graphic novels for the last thirty-five years.
