    "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me the truth. 
    " 
    "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be." 
     
    "As if you could kill time without injuring eternity." 
     
    Walden was published in 1854 by American transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau. The text is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, a social experiment, a voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and—to some degree—a manual for self-reliance. 
     
    Henry David Thoreau was an American naturalist, essayist, poet, and philosopher. A leading transcendentalist, he is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay "Civil Disobedience", an argument for disobedience to an unjust state. A true audiobook treasure!

    Seaweed and sunburn. The death of a fridge. A 'pie-faced' St George upstaged by the horse.
    
    The English Summer confronts the illusions and paradoxes of history in poems that reimagine medieval anchorites and 18th-century follies, zombies and the Megabus.
    
    This is a landscape populated by overcrowded urban bedsits and burnt-out country piles, where ghosts of the past are sensed beneath dual carriageways and old gods emerge from rotting bindweed.
    
    Visceral and analytic at turns, Hopkins' startling collection probes at the undergrowth of English culture; a white-hot debut by a poet of singular vision.
